Default Top-Posting again

Jeez, does it bloody matter!

I thought this news group was supposed to be about cycling, all I've read
this last couple of days seems to be about having a good old moan or whinge.
It's supposed to be the season of goodwill - lighten-up!

George

As Guy pointed out, it's also the season of bad cycling weather (And
accidents it would appear). Thus energy using spent cycling must be
vented in other ways.

Nah. It never did, and never will, save in the minds of some.

I knew it did matter to me, but untill you asked I hadn't bothered to ask
myself why.

So I had a think about it and here's what I realised. I don't actually care.
But you should.

If I read a post that is replying to some point that is going to be made
clear to me later down the page, well....
Quite honestly I have no idea what it's about!.

Then I read the original point.. Then I go back to remind myself what the
response was.

Well actually, no I don't.
It's been a few years now that I've just ignored top posted responses. I
just can't be arsed.

The same applies to non-edited responses. I've given up scrolling down to
the bottom.

Not too much -- but it helps if everyone does the same.

Its a bit like driving left or right -- both work -- both do not work at the
same time and place.

The norm here is bottom. So go with the flow.

PS -- enjoy the season of conspicuous consumption.

Why are you signing your post in between every line?
Your behaviour is very odd.

If it doesn't matter, why have you posted this? unless your a troll of
course.

Not if you read messages on a regular basis, you would already have read it.

I also think it more logical to read top posted articles

You are missing so much.

That is the whole point of top posting
