That's because you can't read.

The greater part of the Usenet world has always had a problem with top
posting. It's against Usenet etiquette as anyone who has been around as
long as you claim to have been already knows.

Dont know about that, but I can construct sentences, as well as interpret
them...

Yep, and over the last 10 years, how much has the internet changed?
Considerably, and if you're not prepared to move with the times, press the
disconnect button, power down the system, and take it back to the store...
You've not got the intelligence required to own or operate a computer.

here endeth the soapbox session.

I sincerely hope that I never have the displeasure of meeting you...

The only thing about Usenet that has changed is the number of ignorant
newbies who know nothing about Usenet etiquette, what it is and why it has
evolved as it has. Giving in to ignorance is not an option.

Since I clearly do both you're wrong yet again. In fact, I've been an IT
professional for over twenty years.

That's the first sensible thing you've said. The feeling is entirely
mutual.

Its funny to see someone who thinks having been on usenet for 10 years is an
achievement.

I know, but at least it gives him some sense of achievement.

You just don't get do you?

The endless preaching in your signature is paramount to whining.
A never ending irritation.

You hate top posters? I hate NETCOPS.

Manual filing systems always have the newest items on top. People deal
with that everyday and manage.

I personally can tolerate top or bottom postings and in fact prefer NOT
to have to re-read stuff stated read before, especially when messages
open like normal files with the top shown first. IMHO, bottom posting
encourages RSI of the index finger using a wheel mouse.
More important is that if you should jump into a thread mid-stream that
sufficient quoting is retained to make any comment meaningful.

Usenet is anarchy. If you want to control others, join a moderated forum
and be a moderator. Forcing opinions on others is doomed to failure on
usenet.

Can we assume from both you gentlemen (assumption ) that you are
either both doing the nude ride or at very least typing your boring tete
a tete in the buff?

Now back to topic, think this similiar to the last story. Had a better
link but can't find it at present,

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/06/04/dutch.bike.reut/

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) -- A planned nudist bicycle tour in the
Netherlands' so-called "Bible Belt" has upset local church officials who
are holding their own youth charity bike ride the same day.

Hmmm... do you have references, stats or anything else to back that
statement? For example, by what majority do Usenet people prefer bottom
posting? What is the sample size of any survey quoted? etc, etc, ect...

All I'm asking is that you supply similar backup to your tatements to that
which you demand of others.

Cheers,

Wow, I felt really important when I logged on and saw shitloads of
responses to a topic I started. Then I realised I've just started a war.
Call me Helen. Sorry all.

[DaveB]

Wow this is amazing, it's kind of like one of those chess grand masters
playing simultaneous games against 20 people. I'm in awe of DR's ability
to keep track of who has been insulted, who is yet to be insulted but
needs to, and who needs to be insulted again.

DaveB (deliberately top posted just for the fun of it, I'll taunt DRS
but I draw the line at actually bothering to respond to the rubbish
opinions)
