Eric,

T'was just a suggestion. I find Lennie insufferable.

The Top Posting suggestion was because I find it easier to read. Most folks
forward 5000 words without editing
as a quote and I hate to go all the way to the bottom to read the response.

Not a particularly important request.

Perhaps your newsreader filter can be set to "mark as read" messages with
"Lennie the Lurker" in the body. That will let you avoid any messages that
quote him.


I don't think this newsgroup has a stated policy, but the other two I
frequent do, and it is bottom posting. One group is absolutely adamant
about it, so I tend to stick with that convention. The reason given is it
is easier to follow a thread, though if you follow this group every day,
it's not as valuable as it is for groups with more postings, or ones you
follow infrequently. I do try to trim the post to the most relevant
portions, so it's not so much scrolling. That "adamant" group I mentioned
doesn't like that, either, so I don't do it there.
