    No, it's not nearly as annoying as top-posters.

    whoops.. yes it does 🙂

    Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?


    DRS......you need to get out more champ.......this top posting [censored] is
    getting pretty boring. In an ideal world, everyone would bottom post,
    online bike shops would put the customer first, all drivers would be
    considerate, you would always get green lights, and every ride would
    be downhill with a tail wind.

    It is pretty obvious that this aint gonna happen my friend.......do
    us all a favour and tolerate others in stoic silence (yes, I realise
    that I am contradicting that last statement by posting this, but in
    my defence I have tolerated your anti-top-post crusade in silence for
    long enough).

    Half the time the person that you have a go at for top posting seems
    to be pretty new to operating in newsgroups and hasn't got a clue
    what you are talking about anyway.

    aus.bicycle...........not aus.netiquette

    Ride On,

    Gags

    Sorry i hadnt selected an option in the add-on program she/he reconmended.

    Top posting is better, if you news client starts at the top for a long
    message(3k or more). ?? Anyone thought of that? 🙂 If its bottom
    posted/quoted it means you have to scroll down to view messages, so its
    annoying to read stuff down the bottom.

    Anyway most people save the last weeks messages in a thread view, so its
    easy to see what people have been posting previously.

    Whats really annoying is when people dont quote at all and the previous
    messages have expired 🙂

    Just my 3 cents worth.

    Snipping extraneous quoted material is the other side of the same coin.
    However, since two wrongs don't make a right it follows that whilst it is
    also wrong to leave in extraneous material it cannot justify top-posting.

    Anyone that has been here more than a month (that must be the average
    for a top posting takeover of a thread) knows DRS is socially retarded
    so we might as well leave him with his OCD and laugh from the sidelines.

    I am thinking of entering my first criterium race.
    I wanted to ask, how do they keep track of your time and place in the field
    ?

    Back off top posting and onto the crits, when do the Crits at Kew
    Boulevarde start again? Not that I'm thinking of entering but thought I
    might drop by and watch one night. I assume it's not till daylight savings.

    Dave,

    The Wed night crits last year were run by HCC (Hawthorn Cycling Club).
    There's nothing that I can see on their website that refers to the 2004/05
    season yet. My guess is, if they are on again this year, they should start
    around the time that there is sufficient light to run the A and B race right
    after the C and D race. Flyingdutch, an HCC member, might have more insight
    regarding the exact dates this racing kicks off.

    DRS, did you by any chance see my suggestion a few weeks ago about putting the solutions to your much-hated-top-posting in your sig?
    rather than just the whineing about it...
