Top Posting and Bottom Posting have become religions in their own
right. Let the jihad begin!
Mr Bill,

Shuttle Coche said:Probably started with email replies ? The original emailer would know
what he said in an earlier message to a known person.
However, with newsgroups, a post may contain parts of many individual
statements and veer off in many new directions.
Plus, there is often a time-lag in newsgroups when posts may be delayed
for some time on the many independent providers out there.
I think middle-posters should leave a blank line above and below thier
insertions to separate it from the surrounding quotes which it refers to.
For clarity.
Which is better -- driving on the right side or the left side of the
road?

And when you are told by the readers of the newsgroups you are spamming
to that there is no interest there in your posts, you should stop
spamming those newsgroups. Instead, as is your usual wont, you punish
those newsgroups by flooding them with thousands of irrelevant posts
over the next several months. You are a miserable piece of jyotishit!
