And this is being argued on the basis of etiquette, of all things. I just
don't get it. Etiquette has to do with manners adn politeness and such. I
don't get where we're somehow being rude by posting replies on top. I tried
to point out a "practical" reason to post on top, but Pete thinks I'm
somehow being rude by trying to make things easier.
Oh well. To each, etc.
And here I've gone and wasted even more of my not so valuable time when I
said I wouldn't.
Thanks for the vote of support, though. Maybe someday reason will rule and
not arbitrary rules.
Sorry if I've offended anybody by top posting again. Guess it's just my
nature to be rude.

I am with You on this on Mike!
I HATE scrolling down to read the latest...
Remember when we used paper files? The MOST RECENT info was
placed on top, and when you file e-mail, the MOST RECENT is at the
top... newspapers in the library, MOST RECENT on top...invoices?
same.....calendars ? ...same....
And now we are supposed to place our MOST RECENT "news"
all the way on the BOTTOM????
I don't thing so...

Some people like top-posting
Some people LIKE it. But no one has a good argument in favor of it on
the
basis of etiquette. None of the so-called "reasons" for liking it make
any
sense on Usenet, and that's doubly so when the top-poster does the
usual
"include the entire previous post".
