I use at various times all the different methods, depending on the situation. Any "rules" that may be cited in response to your question are not rules but either "guidelines" or the personal opinion of the person who makes the reply. My own personal "preferred" style when appropriate is inline replies.

Well, since this newsgroup has such little action, I don't think it really
matters here. Many folks here (including MVPs) like to top post, as I really prefer to do. For me it makes a long thread (discussion) easier to follow,most of the time. In many ngs, this question tends to start super long threads (debates). The norm in some groups with an ever vigilant 'procedure nazi' is to always top post and cut (snip) anything not revelant to the reply. So, I hope this doesn't turn into one of dem dar tings.

Dan,
Regardless of your findings, a small "war" of sorts may start. Many people know the "only" *proper* Usenet etiquette, and refuse to listen to alternate viewpoints.

Have a look he http://groups.google.com/group/micro...rch+this+group and he http://groups.google.com/group/micro...0b4f548a050bf0 and, in general: http://groups.google.com/groups?as_q...007&safe= off Seems that one can possibly succeed at annoying just about anyone regardless of the selected "position", so, just pick your poison and type away. :-D |
