Oops! That's got to be someone else's fault. Everything is, isn't it?

And from there, DRS goes to the 'no credibility 'killfile...

I think you mean "Top posting has never acceptable to you in this news
group. If you can show me when you were elected Moderator I'll give
you & your anal comments some respect. If not I would suggest that you
are the troublemaker who thinks the world revolves around yourself.

I've never seen the word 'whine' and variants thereof so frequently in
my life. I'm terribly impressed. No, really.

You don't think, full stop. I didn't invent Usenet etiquette so when I cite
it it is not possible for me to be the troublemaker.

A: Top-posters.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?

But this isn't a manual filing system. Its usenet and it has the
ability to do inline posting.

[...]

But there is a signifigent missunderstanding about the nature of the
anarchy[1] that usenet is. Its one that is founded not on laws but on
norms of expected behavour that have evolved over its lifetime. One
of these norms is inline posting.

[1] Acutally Usenet isn't an anarchy at all, its both benevolent
dictatorship and an oligarky. Usenet is ruled over by the Newsadmins
who control the news servers. And they in turn accept desisions made
by "The Concenesus" not because there forced to but more because
things tend to work better that way.
