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

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.

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

I hate it when, either with top or bottom posting, people include
entire messages with only small comments and sometimes those messages
are 4 or more deep. That is in newsgroups of course. Batting backwards
and forwards to a support site is quite different IMHO,

As this appears to have gone completely off topic, and me not wanting to be
the one to protract this argument further, I thought I'd add my 2ps(UK vers
1.1.0) worth! haha

As far as I'm concerned everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The
variety of the postings not only allows for indiviuality to come across in
the usenet, but also adds some functionality. If everyone bottom posted, it
could be annoying....equally so with bottom posting. Both have there faults,
but both also add some ease to usenet: bottom posting aids continuation of
the thread; top posting aids speed of reading.

Show a bit of love and understanding. Save your energy for the more
important arguments, not netiquette versus the youth of today!

PS should I have added a signature break there? I typed it in manually, so
is it a signature or part of the message?!

Seconded.

Top posting, bottom posting... like high wing vs. low wing.

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

Good one...:-)

He may have been ready to solo, but got the jitters at the last
moment.

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.

holy cow!
who knew it would spark such a controversy ;-)
