I'm not a big fan of Satan either but he is generally straightforward about

Re: Top Posting
Sure, but it spoils the joke if you let foreigners complain about it. From
what I have seen here, this part of the world hasn't found out that
"cigarettes are bad" or "drinking can be dangerous" either. If all it
takes, to maintain the honor of the American institution, that has allowed
me to live without working, for the past eleven years, is a little top
posting, then I will allow it. I remember fondly, thousands of employees,
standing around the lagoon, back of Building 8, shouting "World Domination!"
and "Better Dead than (Novell) Red!" I am just doing my part, to keep the
dream alive.
Freedom to post, is freedom to top-post.
