Okay Peter, thanks for setting me straight on a point or two there! it
seems
on the top posting/bottom posting that i'm stuck between a rock and a hard
place: if i top post people complain, if i bottom post people complain,
i'm
not getting at you, its just that i was in another n/g that had a rather
large debate cum argument online about people that top or bottom post;
nowadays i dont bother either way, if it annoys people that much whether i
top post or bottom post then thats just too bad, i'm sorry and all that
but
who really cares!??? i dont, i just scroll down to where the latest
comments
are!


There are several very good reason for bottom posting.

Firstly and most importantly replies can read in the
context of the original post.

Secondly in a post to which there are several responses its
much easier to keep track of who said what and when.

But only if people would keep the quoted amount within reason...I
hate it when I select a msg in an interesting thread, scroll down
to see what it's about then scroll through innumerable lines to
see the new stuff then again and again...how come people can't
learn to remove all that superfluous text? Why quote the old
stuff over and over? I think there's a conspiracy afoot to
change me over to a top-poster!...

I generally hate top posting if there's more than a paragraph quoted. Frankly,
I hate bottom posting under the same conditions. I do believe that bottom
posting under a very sparse quotation makes for an easier flow of ideas, as in
who said what. There's no need to requote an entire conversation in order to
give context.
