In my experience, top vs bottom vs interleaved posting is dependent on the community. I searched my gmail archives which have the list back through around 2006 and found only four threads where someone mentioned top posting - and most of them had no response.
In my opinion, I appreciate top posting - I read most of my Wicket emails on my phone. And scrolling down through long lists on my phone is a pain. Most of the core committers use gmail - as I do - and there, too, I like top posting. I have the whole thread if I need to look back - so just get to the point at the beginning of the message. Anyway - the only rule this community typically has with posting is: at least try to do your research before posting - this is a high-volume list, and we ask people to search the archives. Other than that, it's whatever makes you happy. -- Jeremy Thomerson http://www.wickettraining.com On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 8:14 AM, taha siddiqi <tawushaf...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > The story goes like this... > > Once I was brave enough to take on linux-kernal programming and joined > a mailing list.
