Bull****. Nobody who was using Usenet in 1980 does TOFU posting. Up
until the never ending September of 1993, anybody who didn't learn to trim
their quoted text would have been hounded off of any reasonable newsgroup.

correction where it was in error. I suppose we egg's should just sit
silently in rapturous awe at the feet of the Masters. Thanks for making me


No, people who make wrong statements should take correction without
accusing the person making the corrections of being arrogant.

feel so very welcome to the group.


You're not welcome to the group. People who can accept correction are.
So are people who don't lie about their qualifications.

Where precisly did I lie about my online experience? You assume, because for
some strange reason you abhore the readiblity of a continuous block of text
and prefer to find and reassemble brief fragments interspersed within the
replied-to message's text in an attempt to come up with a cohesive premise
and discussion, that anyone who top-posts simply MUST be an online/Internet
newby. I assure you that is not the case. Complete paragraphs, with an
opening sentence, discussion, and closing, is far preferable to snipits of
phrase and isolated sentences. Some would argue that the ability to review
a conversation thread by simply scrolling and seeing each message in its
entirety in reverse order far outways the cost few microseconds of broadband
transfer time - the idea that top-posting is an evil came about to save
bytes in the days when 2400 baud modems were considered high speed data
transfers and it should be relegated to the same museum where you find the
hardware that gave rise to it.

No, you're just an insensitive nonconformist.

Fine, that still doesn't explain why you don't trim off the needless included
text from the previous posters. If you're going to write your own book,
there's no reason to include everything. Most people have news article
retentions of a couple of weeks at least.

Been around since it was telnet and before that tty, and I have always top
posted so that the first thing the reader views is the new information... If
he is too brain dead to remember what has been posted prior, he is free to
read on down or search the archives...
