Why not do top posting, inline posting and bottom posting... oh that is what we do. Top posting makes more sense to me when giving a general reply to the point just below and makes for faster reading.

But wading through history in this mailing list is not necessarily easy (this is _not_ a newsgroup, I spent several years reading newsgroups, and inline posting was very much the accepted norm there too) Also, top-posting limits you to only addressing one point at a time, it can be difficult to see what earlier point the reply is referring to.

Top posting is great because it's the latest entry, and thus most relevant. News groups are about getting questions answered, and not long discourses aimed at late entrants. If someone picks up the thread months later, the onus should be on them to wade through the history to update themselves. A thread should be in the interest of current contributers, not archive sifters. Bottom posting unfortunately obliges everyone in the current discussion to wade and sift through volumes of info to find the latest .2c, like my comments are here It also obliges people to trim and butcher posts in the interest of brevity, which messes with the flow of the discussion.

That isn't the way it is meant to be. Bottom-posting (As you describe) is even worse than top-posting (which I despise). My preference is for inline-posting, as I am doing here, and as I also do (with much effort) on the forums. What I dislike about the forum is that it takes real effort to ensure I have read everything. With a mailing list I know that when my mailbox is empty then I have read everything.

Re: [Emc-users] Trim Posts
Kent, The forum seems to stay more focused on the question at hand and does not drift off topic much and almost zero idle chit chat. It's a different medium, and as for topics covered like the mailing list and the IRC they are wide and varied. Are they the same topics as the mailing list? Vary rarely will a topic be broadcast over all three communication avenues. If there is a topic your interested in on the forum it is pretty easy to lurk and just read the ones interesting to you. The forum doesn't have near the traffic or static that the mailing list has so it only takes me a few minutes a day to at least scan every post. If you have never been to the forum it is broken down into sections and subsections by topic. For example there is a Hardware section that contains Computer, Driver Boards, and CNC Machines and like wise for other sections. The forum is active enough that since it has been turned on there have been 29,984 messages in 3150 subjects. The most poplar is General LiniuxCNC Questions with 622 topics and next is Advanced Configuration with 299 topics. FAQ's are stickey to the top of a section so you don't have to wade through all the topics looking for common answers. If I had to guess I'd say there is 20 times more traffic here than on the forum but so much is not on topic it is hard to stay focused. Then you have abby normal people like me that prefer top posting because I like to see the reply first and not wade down through a long email with a bunch of signatures and ads to find the reply(s). But that is just my personal preference. For me the forum is much better organized from a subject point of view with 22 sections related to LinuxCNC not counting the International Users sections and forum sections. As for the question should someone read the forum, only they can answer that. John On 2/19/2013 11:12 AM, Kent A.

There's much to recommend that, but when the poster isn't up to it, there are always tools. We're tool users, after all¹. If we don't want to set up a tool like t-prot to automatically trim advertising footers on this list, because the ads fund our free list, then there are additional conveniences, beyond cropping long quotes. For the case of long quotes with interspersed replies, we can within mutt: 1) Display quoted text in a different colour, which helps a bit. (I expect GUI MUAs can do that too.) 2) Zap straight to the next chunk of reply, skipping the quoted gumpf. (Just hit S, and (pages of) untrimmed quotes are instantly scrolled out of sight.) With enough verbiage-mulching gear, it's quite possible to maintain equanimity in the face of deteriorating netiquette, and even fake tolerance of it. Apropos ads, I visited Avrfreaks once. Talk about ads - those flashy jiggling and bopping things which appear on fora are so egregious that the only way I ever find myself on one now is as the result of a google hit. And a requirement to log in is anathema. Erik ¹ And the discipline of quote trimming wasn't taught in school. ;-) -- One man's constant is another man's variable. - A.J.

Fullquoting does give all of the list recipients a lot of repeated words to wade through, and can lead to planet-wide cursing. But hobby lists are not renowned for making the effort to trim the bits not directly being replied to. So it's probably worthwhile for recipients to also see what can be done to bury some of the needlessly repeated verbiage. One tool I use is: $ apt-cache search t-prot t-prot - display filter for RFC822 messages It takes a bunch of options, to control what it compresses. I use it as the display_filter in mutt¹.
