Student Pilot lands short of runway

Me too. Generally if the interesting stuff doesn't at least
start in the first screenful then I just skip it.

I hate bottom posting, at least when the person includes the entire
previous post. That makes me have to scroll down.

See, what did I tell you! Just like the high wing vs. low wing debate!

Yes, failing to trim quoted text is even more frowned upon.

Well, since quoting the entire previous message is also poor etiquette,
people who do that are in no way an argument in favor of top-posting.

How so?

No one has argued in favor of top-posting as a form of etiquette. They've
only argued in favor of it as a form of laziness and a "solution" to another
form of poor etiquette.

Some people like top-posting, especially for message streams where there is
an advantage of the history being preserved and a quick note is all that is
required where the response can be seen as soon as the message is opened.

And some people like bottom posting, for it follows a more logical stream of
thought.

I have heard vocal arguments for both, just like the high/low wing question.
And, just like high and low wing planes, both do the job. If you lived in a
world with only high wing planes, and only top posting, I'm sure life would
go on just fine.

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".

You wish. No one that cares about Usenet etiquette agrees with you.

Different newsgroups have different preferences.

who don't give it much thought one way or the other.

But if it's that important to you, I will try to remember your preference.

Good one...:-)

then he wasn't ready...

By that logic, any pilot who has an accident wasn't ready to be a pilot.
Or
any Usenet poster who top-posts isn't ready to be a Usenet poster.
