There is a correct way to pronounce a word and an incorrect way. What ever gave you the idea that
you can just pronounce a word anyway you want. Language is a communal thing.

No, you read down, not up. And just what part of the previous message are you responding to? So you
first have to read what is below to know what it is that you are responding to. But you do strike me
as the type that does everything ass backwards. You probably read from right to left too. And when
you read a book you begin at the ending and read to the beginning.

Yes, but the rest of us do care. Who the hell are you to do things your own way? Since you don't
mind screwing everyone else, I guess we are free to screw you too. And I will take particular
delight in doing it!

It is not a recommendation you dolt! It is the PROPER way to do things. God! Here is an idiot who
strikes me as being barely literate and he is telling us that he can post anyway he wants. He does
not have a glimmer of a notion about the differences between sentences and paragraphs. He is unable
to organize his thoughts in a coherent manner. All he knows is that he can damn well post anyway he
wants to and the rest of us can like it or lump it. Have I got it about right? If I have, then you
are about on the level of a common criminal.

That is precisely the one thing you do not know how to do at all and that is how to edit someone
else's posts. That is mainly because you do not know how to read and write either. Apparently one
sentence just follows another with never any break to distinguish one thought from another. But
maybe all your thoughts just run together that way too. Learn how to read, write and edit and
organize your thoughts before you presume to tell the rest of us anything about posting - you
blooming moron!

Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't. It all depends on what you are responding to in the
message. By the way, letters and conversation are two entirely different communication mediums and
have their own rules. I am sure you do not know how to talk to anyone either.

Bottom posting is important because that is the way the human mind works. But apparently not yours.
And you prove it every time you post. But maybe your mind works like a usenet application where
everything is on default, except the default is ass backwards and nothing is more important than
anything else. Everything is equal in your universe. Backwards, forwards, the beginning, the end,
the top, the bottom - what the hell difference does any of it make. We are just all children here
and no one knows anything about anything except this dummkopf who goes by the name of "Sticker Jim".

It is because of jerks like you that Usenet is as screwed up as it is. Either learn how to do things
the proper, accustomed, traditional way or get the hell lost. Life is hard enough for the rest of us
without having to put up with dunderheads like you who only know how to screw things up.
This moron does not even know how to name a subject thread. What the hell is [Slightly OT]
RailBikes? He should have named this thread: [OT] Idiot Wants to Know How to Post. Please Help Me!
