When I go to the next message in a thread, my sole interest is what THAT
poster has answered - not rereading the same paragraphs over and over.
Each poster has the right to edit as he sees fit. It's a judgment call.
I will not tolerate some Taliban Mullah (Bob & Nunya) telling me how
to post.

What an ridiculous analogy! Editing text messages and sitting on pool
tables, eh? No wonder you two bimbos are having a hissy fit.
May I suggest the Netscape newsgroups if you want to hang-out with folks
who still insist on bottom-posting. And to top it off, some are
elitists in that newsgroup who sniff the air importantly as they carry
on the tradition started by the hemmoroidal control-freaks (sys-admins)
from the mainframe days of computing.
Now get your wide-screen, flatulent asses out of here if you can't
handle modern discourse. Otherwise, keep your pieholes shut on this
topic please. Enough already about bottom_posting.

That's only if you are following that thread carefully. Most
subscribers read a lot of different threads and cannot be expected to
keep track of them blindly. It takes a minimum of context for them to
understand a response.
| Quote: | not rereading the same paragraphs over and over.
|
You exaggerate - you must be a woman.
No one is asking posters to do that. What we are asking is to snip out
the irrelevant parts of the post you are replying to, keeping at most
2 generations of prior comments, and putting your response below it.
That way we can gain a quick awareness of what you are commenting on.
When you top post we have to move down the text and fish for the
context of your response.

There is a thing called Netiquette which does not tolerate top
posting.
If you insist on being the oddball poster you will discover that most
people will ignore your responses because you are not honoring the
widely-respected convention.

I would hope that you continue to bottom-post Bob - since that's what
seems convenient & efficient for YOU.
I will post in a way that seems convenient & efficient for me. That
includes top-posting, snipping, middle-posting and bottom-posting. I
will be the judge as to what posting technique is "good-samaritan" like
for my fellow readers when I author my messages.

Not when the consensus prevails.
Top posters are going against the consensus.
Do a google search on a newsgroup and scroll thru the many posts you
get. Most people do not top post.

Even the spelling of the word. Hmm Interesting. NOT!
You guys could be a bit more retarded... just not today.
The only thing that has transformed is the lazy attitudes that you
retarded twits carry around. Do you expose your asses at home or in
public places, the way you do here in Usenet? |

It is NOT for YOU, you lazy bastard fucktard IDIOT. This ain't
e-mail.
LEARN the proper protocols and follow them! It is no different than
stopping for a red light. You follow established protocol. If you do
not, it is YOU that is outside the box.
If you were a real man, you would do it. Since you are no more than
an E-1 grade retard, you blather on about how or what YOU want to do.
Fuck you, asswipe. Idiots like you have made a mess of Usenet.
The posts are not for YOU or NMY single particular poster. That is
the part you need to get into your head. You have to construct the
post such that ANYONE opening the post can follow the thread. YOUR
ideas about how YOU want to do it make no difference. You follow the
norms of the forum you invade or you remain an invader. It's really
that simple.

No, it isn't, retard! It may be in the minds of all you invading
idiots, but the actual heart of Usenet remains the same. There was a
time when ALL of you asswipes merely got filtered, and NONE of your
tripe ever gets read as a result of being so fucking stupid as to top
post, and then actually defend it based on how fucking lazy you are.
Fuck you, asswipe.

You're a goddamned idiot. It equates to equipment abuse, and puts

Nor was it ever.
You are so goddamned stupid that you can't even post a message the
