<N4KdnZ5RVcOAqCLeRVn-hA@comcast.com>, Lon <lon.stowell@comcast.net> graced the world with this thought: > Politeness is to pretty much avoid blatantly considering your own >personal preferences over those of the other group members. Why is it so many people, in so many newsgroups, have such a problem with this? Thank you for saying it, I was starting to think I was the only one. I love it when someone top posts, and half the people in the groups set on him like hungry dogs, and then the OP <<argues>> about it. Incessantly. As a matter of fact, to the point where half the newsgroup winds up KF'ing the guy. Geeze, when people ask you to do things the way they're usually done in a newsgroup, why argue about it? |

Re: Top Posting
I generally prefer top posting myself as I am used to it in my e-mail
program. It also has the benefit of putting "new" information at the top of the message replies. What bothers me is when people don't quote back any part of the message, With my deteriorating mental abilities if is sometimes difficult to remember previous posts. I could track the thread backwards, I suppose.
