Why reply at the bottom of posts?

Exactly what Tom quoted.

What limits human actions are REAL SOVEREIGN LAWS, not some friggin'
memo.

Like driving. We have laws about which side of the road to drive on,
and cops to enforce those laws.

The USENET has a unenforceable memo.

Memo to Leythos:

F*#K OFF!

Let's see you moan and whine about that memo! ;-)

No freedom is lost by posting properly.

Sure there is. The freedom to choose what is proper for one's self.

You don't lose any rights or
any freedom to participate in something using the "normal" methods and
historically proper ways.

LOL! Sounds like 16th Century argument for believing in a flat earth!

I don't deny that others find top posting works better for them, and
don't care if top posting works better for them. If I found a valid
reason, out of all of these replies, I would switch myself, but, as
the normal method works, has no problems, and reads properly based on
all the different viewing methods/server retention methods, I see no
reason why following the norm should be objected too.

You don't see. Who the F*#K are you? Just post how you feel is right
for you, and worry about your own motivations, and stop worry about what
other people think is right for themselves.

I bet you are one of those kooks that believes that Gay Marriage does
something to hurt Hetro Marriage.

Keep going, there are "posting standards" and methods that are older
than most of the people reading this. I just did a quick search and
posted the first link - as you can see, even in 1995 the NORM was
already established.

LOL! It is a friggin' memo, that says at the very top that it "does not
specify an Internet standard of any kind."

And where the hell are you quoting "posting standards" from? That quote
is not anywhere in the document you linked to.

I just did a search and found thousands of articles on Top Posting and
Signatures in Usenet. I'm sure that if you really cared to learn about
standards that you could have done the simple google search and found
the information yourself. I suspect that you're only interested in
finding another reason to not follow standard/accepted methods that
work.

And I can do a search and find a lot numbskulls that believe that blacks
are inferior to whites. Does that make it a acceptable?

Its not a signature when above the -- .. it is just a reminder of who I am,
so violates nothing..

Sure there is. The freedom to choose what is proper for one's self.

So, if you choose to do it the wrong way, why would you care about
others freedom to call you to task for it?

It is the right way for me which ever way I choose to post.

It have the right to call it wrong, but all that does is show that you
think your way is better than mine for me.

See I'm not saying that one way is right or wrong, because that is
totally subjective to the individual. What is wrong is saying your way
is right for everyone, and any other way is wrong. That is intolerance.
It the same mentality terrorists use to defend their terrorism.

Bandwidth is no problem for me, since I have a broad-band connection.
However, I do realize (sometimes) that others are still on 28.8kbps
connections. Personally, if I had a connection like that, I wouldn't
even try to download Usenet posts.

Why not? Usenet (and to some extent email) was one of the most pleasant
parts about being online when I was stuck on dialup while on vacation
last July... No waiting, since the posts can be downloaded in advance.

What did your mind perceive as anger? What did your mind perceive as
riled?

Please quote and explain your perceptions, because I just don't get
angry by anything written by you.

that most of the time these days I don't bother repairing what OE
breaks.

Compliant Usenet apps should be botched because OE complies with
nothing? I don't think so.

If some add-on to OE, that hasn't been updated in two years, can
do it, it really shouldn't be that much of a big deal.

Sounds like you are giving your newsreader a big break for lazy coding.
Just snipping everything after sig. ROFL!

An OE user accusing newsreaders of lazy coding? ROFL indeed!
I am also not aware of any real newsreaders that behave differently.
None behave like OE.

Do please post your view to demon.ip.support.turnpike -- I shall so look
forward to the pleasant responses you will enjoy.

Why, if it can't handle snipping sigs properly?

It does.

 

[Plato]

I'm just curious as to why so many replies are under the original post
instead of at the top?

Because lots of people like to read the question first and then the
answer to it.

 

[Marc]

Actually, it's very much related to OS - as most people that use Windows
also use OE, and since most Windows users have no clue about what the
Internet really is or how to use it, it is a Windows OS issue for the
most part.

LOL - give up, you're in a bloody Microsoft newsgroup ffs, you aint
gonna win no matter how right you may be ;-)

 

[Leythos]

I just saw the f'd word (not spelled out) in one of your replies and
figured you lost your cool since it's usually a sign of immaturity or
anger that people use that type of language when so many better ways to
express ones self exist

 

[Marc]

This argument basicly boils down to two types of people

First the "I don't know about, and therefore don't want to adhere to any
standards" OE user type of person.

Secondly, the "I invented the Internet, so do as I say" (what they're
doing in an XP newsgroup is a good question) type of person.

At the end of the day, who gives a damn. You may notice I've decided not
to to quote any of you, because I found it so mind numbingly boring!

Seriously guys, there are more important things going on in the world!

 

[Marc]

It the same mentality terrorists use to defend their terrorism.

That indeed is the same mentality that drives people to terrorism,
making huge leaps such as the one you just did!

How on earth can a discussion between how you quote someone's electronic
message, ever, ever relate to people justifying the acts that kill
innocent people??

Now I'm starting to understand how Bush got re-elected!

[Leythos]

Today was my day off, so I had time to engage with others in this
thread. It's sort of on-topic as most of the Top-Posting is generated by
Windows users and users that Use Outlook Express

 

[Leythos]

to to quote any of you, because I found it so mind numbingly boring!

It's nice to see you enjoying the lack of having to strain with us

 

[Leythos]

Now I'm starting to understand how Bush got re-elected!

Bush got elected because he had/has a mission, a plan, a clear path, and
is supported by the very people that have given their lives for this
country so that everyone can have an opinion and freedom of choice -
Military people specifically.

OE doesn't snip sigs. I use a third party app that does that does it
right and only snips the sigs, not any quoted text.

I don't need to since I have no problems at all using my newsreader
setup snipping only the sigs.

It does.

No it snips sigs AND quoted text too. If coded properly, it should only
snip the sig.
