I thought "top posters" were bad and "bottom posters" were good?!

They're both superior to those who trim the entire text they are
replying to. ;-)

Top posters are the Devil. You are forced to read the message and rely
upside down. The end is the beginning. People that trim useless text
when they reply are OK by me. What really bothers me is people that
don't use their smell checkers. There is nothing like bad smelling.
So they're.
So their.
So there.

Not if you put them in you kill file.

A: Yes.
Q: Does that happen with short messages too?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is it such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet and in e-mail?

Net nannies like you.
I'm always curious about those who *insist* in newsgroups that everyone
should bottom-post - do they do the same in e-mails, or go along with what
(in my experience) the overwhelming majority of people do, and top-post?
(He *killfiles* people who top-post? Sheesh!)

No you should post your reply immediately below the text you are replying to.
And yes, that goes for e-mails as well.
"No problem at all. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and
read backwards."
"Only thing is ... I forgot where we started."
"How right you are."
"Yeah ... sure does make us stand out, doesn't it?"
"Maybe they're just not as clever as we are."
"I wonder why nobody else top-posts?"
"That's nice."
"I'm a top-poster too."
"Yes."
"Are you a top-poster?"
"Hi."
"Hi."

Okay, that's one opinion on the way to work (I'm just talking about e-mail,
here). Just one that I've rarely seen in practice, and never in a business
setting. If necessary, people DO manage to work their way up through
exchanges, and without their heads exploding.
Simply ignore those that complain about top posting.

I bottom posted down here just to further confuse things and to annoy
others by making them scroll down here for nothing... I'm sure someone
will complain that I should have snipped...

Yes, you're welcome to use them, it doesn't bother me one iota what
others read or don't read.

This, however, is not a forum for discussing netiquette, but rather for
discussing one particular operating system.
I suggest you Google "netiquette" for more information.

This is the argument that nobody can win.
When I reply, I bottom post unless the person I'm replying to is a top
poster, then I top post. The bottom post makes sense to me just like it
does to you. I don't read the paper from bottom to top. But who reads
the paper anymore?
Bottom posters and top posters will never agree on this. You got to love
a newsgroup!

In my opinion in a one on one email exchange the conversation is more
f>luent and natural when replied to the top, but to each his own. Are
you so forgetful that you don't remember what was said in the previous
email and that you must reread or scroll through the whole conversation
again before you read the reply from the other person? And who says
that private emails should follow top/bottom reply rules? What others
do in their private emails is nobody's business but their own and they
should do whatever pleases them! In my opinion replying to the bottom
in an email exchange is like having to repeat everything twice when you
engage in a verbal discussion.
By far the worse thing about top/bottom posting are the ones who
complain about it and who insist that others must do it their way. As
far as I am concerned it doesn't make any difference, if I'm interested
in a discussion thread I follow it and with top posting I don't need to
scroll or reread through what was previously posted, and if I have to
then with one click my newsreader can arrange the posts by thread so
it's easy enough to sort out. I use both posting methods, if I see that
the person who started the thread wants to post on top I do too, if I
see that he wants to post at the bottom I follow him down there and post
at the bottom. As far as I'm concerned it's nitpicking, especially in
these Microsoft groups where both posting methods have always been
accepted without too much fuss from any but the nitpicking crowd. And
of course we won't say anything about the ones who post at the bottom
without ever snipping anything, you know, the ones who make others
scroll through pages and and pages of text only to find silly one liners
at the very bottom...
