just because you *can* do it, doesn't mean you should. General common
sense. I'd much rather fill up my harddrive with mp3's rather than 400
replies that top post the original, which basically mean you

Well, I'm on 26K dial-up which ain't a whole lot better. You should

I don't know why ppl just want to bitch about top posting and HTML? Sure
back when we were all on an old external hays 9600 it was irritating to
download all that extra crap. But adding a few extra kb doesn’t mean much

Deleting the bits that are out of context, to keep the message
relatively smaller in size.
Dial-up users benefit from trimming and not u

Not really. Full quotes are - at least on mailinglist - very
bad. It's easy to go back to the original post to see what's
been written there.

Personally, If I think I'm helping someone, I don't care if they top or
bottom post or post like you did below, middle posting I guess. I
certainly won't care if someone is helping me.
The one thing that confuses me is keeping up with who is who. I'm
awful at names. I have to work at it to

Ok, i top post, just for you, :)Imagine someone who wasn't following the thread need to do to pick up this thread:1. Scroll all the way to the bottom, read Ted's message.2. Scroll a bit upwards, to read you message
3. Then scroll all the way to the top, to read mine.I can hardly say it is *logical*
I post mine on top so I assume that is top posting. Correct? Now you
will see what I mean by mixing the two. LOL

My reply being on top of what you wrote. Some people like it on the
bottom. I guess someone will be upset no matter which way you do it. I
just like the top so that I don't have to scroll down. My mouse wheel
leaves a little to be desired.

Ok if he is getting anal about whether I reply on the top or on the
bottom then tough luck. It makes more sense to me that it is on the
top since:
a) you dont need to scroll
b) if you have been following the thread then you know whats been said
already and if you cant remember you can scroll down t
