Forget it...

I can now go the rest of my life with no futher conversation with you.
You have nothing I need...

Forget it, just remember this, if you are short,


The only thing you are short on in this issue, is brains.

to the point,


You have expressed exactly zero valid points.

and ALL
the text is logical and necessary,


Like the 100 line quoted texts you seem to ignore?
You know little or nothing about Usenet, if you cannot even follow
the
first rule.

I read it--if not, forget it...


More like, forget you.

really, I expect the same others regarding my text...


It isn't about "your" text. The posts aren't about "you", nor are
they for you... even your own posts. You don't appear to be
someone
that can get that simple fact.

Dude:

I leave you here. If top posting is a real issue to you, I just hope
you will survive life when a real problem comes your way...

I'd suggest you killfile me, or get used to top posting...

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...

If you get paid a buck for anything, you are grossly overpaid.

If you want to say something to me, don't intermingle it together with
all the text I just wrote, I remember what I wrote, just write a damn
reply...


He probably just did that because the average American seems to have
the attention span of a goldfish.

Not that I have anything against Americans. In fact I support several
charities that look after dumb creatures.

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.

Indeed, the "governing" RFC even went so far as to
state that bottom posting was the preferred method
of the author but that there was no hard and fast rule
about it.

With top posting, you can quickly "thumb" through the
posts with your hand on the "Next" button. With bottom
posting you have to page down through much already-seen
and over-quoted material. The net result is that bottom-posted
articles tend to get skipped without the new material being read
let alone being visible.

Don't top-post.

See, I had to SNIP to get to the important portion of your message.

'My Time' is all I've got. Once it's gone, it's gone! I don't get any more.

Jock, I hope you use your time wisely. Don't waste it reading 'replies
to replies of replies'. Get to the issue quickly. TOP POST.
