Hi everyone, two days ago I wrote an email to all lists regarding (me ranting a bit - sorry) top posting in threads. The resulting discussion was a summary of many different opinions about how to post. I try to summarise this a bit:
/ yes, top posting is evil - we should not do it / top posting is ok, I do that since many years / combine top posting, inline posting and bottom posting / I don't care, my email client will fix it for me / we should not give any advise or guidelines Well, my conclusion is to not give any advise but my personal idea about it. I like to write inline comments and more comments or topics at the end of an post. I think it's the best way to read it. I use exclusively GMail on a laptop (no smartphone). BUT - this is my personal opinion and as far as I understand, it was mostly ok, how the threads are structured now. So everybody is welcome to keep doing how he does. What I really don't want is to keep people out of discussions because they are afraid of doing comments or posting wrong. Please don't be afraid! I was really worried when this came up. Sorry for that. I hope anybody is now feeling comfortable again. Let's keep on going with this really harmonious lists.
