That's an amazingly creative insult! And assuming quite a lot to boot. You'd guess wrong then. The specific examples of the top-posting and not reading behavior I've experienced recently were definitely not the result of "long, wordy emails with multiple topics to reply to." One involved a mere 4 sentences on my part. They were relevant to his area of responsibility, and were legitimate questions. I'd post a specific example, but I doubt you'd read or care. Top posting indeed has much to do with it. > Grow up, guys. There's a world outside of unixoid operating systems, > system administration, and internet tradition. Not everyone cares > about what you care about. Did you even read what I wrote? This isn't about tradition or "unixoid" stuff. This is about professional business communication. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
