What happened to top posting here?
 
That's my question, one of things I always liked about this group, top
posting, last few days it seems 1/2 or more are bottom, pain in the ass to
read.

Posting is like a roll of toilet paper some install it so it puss out from
the top and others install it so it pulls from the bottom however, the end
result is the same your butt gets wiped.

I hear ya. Good thing I only use scroll mice, to scroll through a page and
a half of quote just to read the one word reply. This is the point where
someone will chime and and say that the way they read the news either
through a program or via the web isn't nested so they need to see the
original message before reading the reply. To that I say, get a real
newsreader dipshit...there are better ways to do it.

Top posting shouldn't be done because it's rude. The convention was set long
before your newsreader was written.
We COULD drive on the left side of the road, and have steering wheels on the
right side, but those conventions later became law in the USA. There will be
no law on the usenet, but if you ignore convention you will be thought of by
others as being lazy, ignorant, ill-mannered, or all three.
