Ham Op:

I think some must still be attempting to use old linux/unix/dos news
readers from the commandline--only way they could have a problem other
than attempting to use one of the first GUI news readers ever
programmed...

Let'em get a decent news reader...

I've used the internet since 1985 [DARPA net] and have yet to see
the 11th commandment prohibiting top posting or forcing bottom
posting.

I prefer TOP POSTING. I've read the original message previously, it
is stored sequentially on my computer sorted by thread and date if I
need a refresher, and I don't have to scroll through a lot of
attached garbage to get to your meaningful or meaningless comments.

TOP POSTING, IMO, provides much more efficient use of my time.

Get a life. There's much more to life than criticizing where a
response is posted.

As senior software engineer, you bet I know about conformance!!!


Apparently not, you top posting twit.

I set the rules... well, unless someone can propose a good argument
why they should be broken.


You are breaking the rules. You certainly don't get to declare
them
in a forum that has been around long before you began posting to
it.

Yanno, that is what college is all about, you are forced to learn
the rules--so you can effectively bend and break 'em for a buck...


Aahhhh... The age old "I do whatever the hell I want." argument.
Nobody is getting paid here, dingledorf. It is a matter of common
courtesy.
