PS: why cant
you scroll down to the bottom of the message and type
there?
three reasons.
Those were reasons why you don't want to.
They were not reasons why you "can't".
I do not claim to be impartial.
Bottom posting is a TINY amount more work for the poster, and less work
for the list and every one of its readers. It ENCOURAGES trimming.
Top-posting is a TINY amount less work for the poster, and more work for
the system and every one of its readers. It DISCOURAGES trimming.
Despite all of the bullshit that is spouted about "my mailer makes the
choice", the real issue is that most posters consider the work that they
would have to do to scroll down [and maybe delete some of the extraneous
crap on the way] to be more important than making everybody else try to
figure out what they were on about with distorted and inverted context.
Most people will gladly make work for a lot of others to save themselves a
miniscule amount of effort. (the "litter principle")
Uncle Charlie pointed out that in differentiating "e-mail" V "email",
the hyphen, and the evolution over the years that accompanied the dropping
of the hyphen means:
"'e-mail' is bottom posting, plain text, poor spellinq, and insufficient
trimming of the old crap, which is set off by chevrons.
'email' is top posting, colors, background wallpaper, pictures and sounds
with dancing kangaroos and yodelling jellyfish, NO attempt too even try
spelin, and NO trimming at all ever of the old crap, all of which has
they're own dancing kangaroos."
