It was thus said that the Great Christian Liendo once stated:
The e-mail below is a perfect example of why I do not
like bottom posting
I had to scroll through Liam's original e-mail then Dave's complete
response to get to Liam's response to that response.?
And I hate having to scroll down to see the relative context, then
scrolling back up to read your reply. I'm sorry, but unlike you, I cannot
maintain the context of three dozen threads in my inbox (I subscribe to more
than just this list). I find having some context easier on me, even if it
is dozens of lines.
But then again, I run my own email server, and use mutt on said email
server to read my email---no IMAP or POP here.
This is?annoying. If you want to bottom post then trim
please.?
Pot. Meet Kettle.
So this is why I no longer support bottom posts..
And this is an example of why I hate top posting. You, who bitched about
Liam not trimming his reply have not even bothered to trim your reply here,
and included 112 lines of extraneous emails.
Personally, I blame Microsoft Outlook for this, making it all to damn easy
to post a pithy one line reply and not even bothering to trim the remaining
email.
