Welcome to the newsgroup rec.autos.makers.jeep+******.top-or-bottom

Long ago the regulars here figured out that there were a finite number of
arguments one could make about wheither it was better to top-post or to
bottom-post but that in the end none of them ever solved anything, so to
save a lot of time spent typing, downloading and reading all the way
around they simply assigned numbers to each reason. Even-numbered
arguments are pro-top posting, odd-numbers arguments are pro-bottom
posting or interleaved responses. It works like this:

OP: Top-posting is good! Bottom-posting is Evil!
1R: 2!
2R: 7, ya ----wit.
OP: 4, 6
3R: Oh, come on, surely 3 and 11, no?
4R: When in Rome: 3 and 4.
2R: 12 _and_ 20. Yugo-driving panty-waist.
3R: When I started, 1, out of wood; 9, in the snow, both ways.
4R: Whatever. Aren't we here to talk Jeeps?
2R: 19, and learn to trim.
3R> Get a real 15, 17, 21.
5R: Hydrogen is the fuel of the future!
6R,3R,OP,4R: Troll!
7R: Top-posting is evil! Bottom-posting is Good!
4R: Oh, fark. Are we doing top-posting/bottom-posting again?
1R: 2!
8R: 7, you ----witt.

We will post on the top or the bottom. Kind of makes it hard to follow ...
