What does F*** actually mean? I looked up in a dictionary and I can't see any
word like this. Is there a misprint?

This may explain my confusion - but not that of the (rabid) proponents of

Ooops - just realised, I've broken my own promise not to respond again - but

Non trimmed bottom posting is as almost as bad as top posting
(worse if you happen to remember what the message is in reply to)

In your opinion. It's is a matter of personal likes and dislikes how
one writes their replies. Just like some guys like jockeys, and
others like boxers.

OK, explain how your nicely formatted reply was harder to read and
follow than the previous top postings.

As I explained earlier in this nonsense, I bottom post most of the time.
I just don't advocate that other people should follow my example. I
believe that people should do what they consider is best for themselves
within reason, not what I consider is best for me.


I see! You do what is best for yourself!. Ubggre everybody else. But it is
everybody else that you hope will read your posts. So why do you expect them
to bother if you go out of your way to make it as difficult as possible?

If we all do it the same way, we all know what to expect and so don't have to
waste time getting our heads round somebody else's idea of how to espress
themselves as individuals.

If you want to be individual how about posting in some language that most
people don't understand. Till exeple, talar ni svenska?

You could even use something like ROT13. Jul abg. V'z fher vg jbhyq fubj ubj
pyrire lbh ner.

And I've even told you what it is to make it easier for you. But if every
post was like that, I don't think you would bother to read it.

Not at all - you've already successfully made it into several
killfiles through your excessive ranting about Nazis.

Can you not just let it rest now that we know that you know
everything about correct posting etc?

I am the one that is of the opinion that there is no such thing as
"correct posting." It's a matter of personal preference, PERIOD!

I don't interleave my postings simply as 'a matter of personal
preference' because it makes me feel happier or a better person or
something.

Interleaved postings on a proper reader are much easier to read than
top-posted ones - as I'm sure you've discovered. It would indeed
save me a few seconds to carelessly hit reply and top-post a
comment with a thousand quoted articles beneath my sig.

But I snip and interleave my comments as a matter of common
courtesy to those who are reading my posts so they don't have to
put up with unreadable text or reams of irrelevant quotes.

If everyone had the same courtesy for those reading their posts
then I think you'd find they'd be interleaving as well. Not as a
matter of conforming though - just as we don't call those who drive
on the same side of the road 'conformists'.

I'm sure this is all lost on you though... have a nice day at work.

The reason I top-post is because I like to read from the top down, rather
than stand on my head.

So it's not because you are too lazy to trim and quote correctly then?

And it's definately not because you think what you say is more
important than what it is replying too so deserves to go first?

The reason I dislike top posting is BECAUSE I like to read from the top
down, not have to keep scrolling up and down to see what the hell is
being discussed.

At least you have a valid sig, so my prog automatically stripped the
trailing back to front posts.

Well, I, almost alone in my Microsoft infested company, insist on quoting
corrently. That is despite using Lotus Notes, which is designed to make it
as difficult as posible.

An I am now finding that more and more of my correspondents s are doing the
same. They are sseing the advantages of doing it, of inserting replies
immediately after the statement that they are commenting on, and the improved
clarity that results. That is despite having to fight the software to do it.
But then perhaps fighting the software is endemic if you use Windows, it
seems to have just about everything clumsy and back to front. But despite
that, people are concluding that it is worth doing.

Reading a properly trimmed and interleaved message is far more
efficient than having to scroll down to find out WTF is being
referred to.

Goody for you that you are of that opinion. Other people's mileage
may vary from yours! Nazi germany was the model of efficiency. Go
build yourself a time machine and go back to a time and a society
that would be more compatible with your advocacy of conformity!

What a prat!

*plonk*

Another person that rather use their killfile, than argue reasonably.


If you'd actually "argue reasonably" about the context of
top-posting, then a krillfile wouldn't be necessary for them in this
particular instance, but you're not, you're bringing up "nazi" and
"conformist" in something that has absolutely nothing to do with
either.

Why should I argue for either top posting or bottom posting, when I'm been
argueing for tolerance of both?

And that's what you nuts can't see. I'm not debating: Top v. Bottom
posting.

And I'm the only one that has been arguing with reason. It's the forces of
intolerance that are beyond reason.

It's like arguing who's god is better. It's a personal choice. And your
god would not be better for me, any more than my god would be for you. We
can either argue endlessly over whose god is better, or we can learn to
tolerate the choice of god that others make is right is right for them.

It's the same with top or bottom posting, you can endlessly argue that
bottom posting is better, or you can choose to move on, and learn to
tolerate those that have chosen that top posting is better for them.

Then let's teach these morons who are too lazy or too stooooopid or
both, the way it's always been done, instead of perpetuating the
idiocy.

I'm sure that's what one Confederate said to the other about slavery.

And it's exactly the argument that the social conservatives use to keep from
making Gay Marriage a legal right.

Top posters are not morons, they are just reply to posts differently than
bottom posters.

That was a poor excuse to use for this kind of thing. Top-posting
is just plain laziness and stupidity and/or a worthless newsreader,
all combined into one moronic entity, plastering it's pathetic butt
in front of an electronic machine they have no clue how to use nor
the mind-power to care to want to.

Hmm! That is your personal opinion, that has no basis in fact.

Maybe people should just write
books, or anything other written material, by just purchasing a
monkey and letting it bang at the keyboard.

Hell, I'm sure the monkey would be more reasonable than you.

Why have a written
language that is used in a standard way to be read and written and
information gotten from it, when the monkey way will work just fine,
according to your nazi germany confomation theory?

If the monkey wants to post to CSAM, more power to them! Then at least
there'd be one voice of reason coming out of CSAM.

2 things. One, I prefer the top posting because I want to see
replies first on posts I've been following,

So you read a book from the bottom up?


Do you read a page, then cut it and paste to top of next page? Then
read it again and the current page.

Do you have a brain cell that actually works without having to

I doubt any would even consider the remote possibility that you even have
