Top-posting is soo popular because software like Outlook have it as the standard. for business stuff, It may make more sense to preserve a full copy of the dude you reply, Is also the lazy option. On peer to peer discussions, like mail list, is better to do bottom posting, to maintain a logical order on the discussion, and preserve what you are replying to, removing crap like ads, signs, and stuff. This way a single email can be printed, and is logical. Threads that has top-posters grown to kilometers and are a mess of illogical writing. As always, there are more newbies on internet than vets, so the right thing (bottom posting) is also the rare thing. It feels to me that on that ratio of newbies, the ratio of noobs (people that refuse to learn) is higher than ever. It seems the "culture chain" is broken, and Is nowadays impossible to the vets to teach manners to the newbies. So the netiquette is getting forget, but will probably be reinvented in Web 3.0 or 4.0, since is the only thing that makes sense. note: This thread is OFF-TOPIC, so sould have [OT] on the title. -- -- ℱin del ℳensaje. _______________________________________________ ioquake3 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ioquake.org/listinfo.cgi/ioquake3-ioquake.org By sending this message I agree to love ioquake3 and libsdl.
