I also tend to find that sort of thing annoying sometimes, which is why
I'm also a (largely silent) "edit out the irrelevancies" bigot. As you
may note, I just deleted the great mass of irrelevant text that was
below your response, making this a much shorter email, and thus have
made bottom-posting a net gain in this case (in my estimation, at least).
-- ChadPS: Besides, I'd rather scroll past irrelevant blocks of text I've already read than be faced with the task of trying to sort out discussion precedence in a confusingly-formatted top-posting email.
PPS: Hopefully, this amicable discussion about the relative benefits and detriments associated with top-posting and bottom-posting won't get on anyone's nerves. If anyone objects, please let me know, and I'll drop it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided as an unmoderated internet service by Networked Knowledge Systems (NKS).
