General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts"

three reasons. Many mailing lists add a large amount of advertising / skred to the bottom of postings. Messing with it causes html posting of the message to explode. So posting at the top where it is clear means I don't see the crap or unleash it on the thread. most email clients seem to default to top posting of replies. I use a large number of them both programs and web based. It isn't worth fighting it. This list drew a top posting of replies by Thunderbird. For most threads, I don' t need to scroll past all the replies if I'm following the thread. I can see what I'm replying to when discussing things. Only when I want to post something detailed and usually when that involves copy / pasting I'll clear the skred off the bottom of the post if it is possible and try to compose a formatted reply with the posted data there. Otherwise I post at the top. On 10/12/2012 12:00 AM, Tom Sparks wrote:
