Not at all that You were/are lazy, but a generalization that top
posters seem to be lazy.

I also think Pete is confused about the difference between laziness and
efficiency. Laziness is a reluctance to take necessary steps to accomplish a
task.
You forgot the word PROPERLY at the end of this sentence. Also, I
don't think Pete is confused at all. I do think he's been around
usenet for quite some time though.

Efficiency is the reluctance to take unnecessary steps to complete a
task. Like unnecessarily haveing to scroll down.

Efficiency actually has nothing to do with reluctance of any kind, you
may want to check Webster's on this one.

What exactly was the prior point he was confirming?

That top posters for the most part are too lazy to scroll down in
order to properly follow, or add to a thread. Have you lost the
concept that quickly?

I also don't see any way top or bottom posting has anything to do with any
kind of etiquette.

So that makes it wrong, because YOU can't see the point. Must be nice
having the world revolve around you.

I offered a reasoned opinion why I prefer top posting.
That's all. It's not like I'm blowing my nose in your soup or something.

It seems you do get agitated fairly easily. I didn't blow my nose in
your soup either, just gave a two statement reply without any
emotional bias. Wish I could say the same for yours.

This etiquette thing is just a bunch of arbitrary, archaic and, frankly in
many cases, stupid rules.

Ahhh, once again what is not understood had to be founded by old,
idiotic, and generally incompetent people. Interesting.

And so, as unimportant as my time is, I'm done wasting it on this idiotic
subject
I hope so.

Suck it up and deal with it.

Done (nym placed in kill filter accordingly).

mike (I'm gonna top post forever) regish

I'd have another sig for you, but I'm trying not to blow my nose in
your soup.

P.S. I had to unnecessarily scroll to the bottom to read your reply. So some
even properly trimmed posts require scrolling with bottom posters.

What else would I expect from an Outlook Express user? When I read my
reply I had plenty of white space at the bottom. You may want to look
at the configuration of your message window.

I didn't see any personal attack. Just someone confirming a prior
point.
