It isn't about what you have read, or what you have stored. Get a
clue.


, 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.


What you fail to realize is that what you have stored, and the
manner which you read Usenet is not how everyone does it. The
protocols (which do exist) are in place to increase understanding of
the post from that very post, without the need to look up or download
additional posts. Are you getting it yet?


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


You are what Usenet users that actually know what the forum is about
call LAZY. How hard can it be, and a few seconds is not some critical
number. Are you really that pathetic?


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


Funny that the only places idiots like you conform is when there is
no way to get what you want otherwise, or if a cop has a gun pointed
at you. You are the same type of idiot I see here in California that
doesn't stop for stopped traffic. They traverse either to the right
or left like little inertial idiots, or the idiots that wear their
pants down past their ass.

And I prefer editing and bottom posting. Obviously, if you don't take the
time to distill the OP's comments, then you bury your reply under his
verbiage. Perhaps one of the best arguments for editing is that you have to
think about what's important in the previous post. That allows you to focus
your reply.

Another criteria for deciding to top or bottom post is your estimation of
the audience. Critical thinkers will want to review the salient points of
the discussion, and an edited bottom post gives them the facts in a linear
fashion. However, if you think your audience is a bunch of
attention-deficient rude boobs, then top posting is indicated. Top posting
is ideally suited to replies that consist of "Yeah, me too!"

Do the London police really shoot dead people? (Ain't English

You haven't given one logical reason to bottom post.

You revert to name calling, insults, IQ assassination, challenging my
IQ, while clearly demonstrating your IQ. Give a positive benefit of
bottom posting, other than that's the way it's done, specially when a
post may be very long, several pages or more, that requires scrolling
through to locate your asinine answer. I could read your answer
immediately and simply ignore it, if it were TOP POSTED.

You do not understand what Usenet is then. It isn't a message board
between two folks having a conversation, it IS a place where such
conversations can benefit any and all that read them. The entire
point of proper posting is so that ANY person popping into the group
for a read, can garner the entire idea of a post *without* having to
go find, download, and plow through a number of others to do it. It
has nothing to do with YOUR convenience and everything to do with the
stray "just walked in" reader. Your attitude about the whole thing is
what is asinine, and that alone is what prompted your much deserved
put downs. In other words, you DO have a reduced IQ if you don't even
have the time to read, learn and follow the protocols and expectations
of a forum you happen to think is some "do as you please" thing, when
it is not, by any stretch. Your convenience is not the issue in any
way.

Placing your answer in front of the text you are replying to IS

You act as if you haven't been in Usenet more than two months, and
then act as if you are a twelve year old adolescent twit when you
decide that long accepted standards no longer apply, or do not apply
to you. Get a clue, dumbass.

More utter, meaningless stupidity.

If it does by some thin chance, however, I'll be one that is diving
into banks, and retrieving safety deposit boxes.

I'd say the guy was dead around the time of the second round fired,
so the other three qualify.

=====================================

What a shocking waste of ammunition! The police officer involved
should be fined with a corresponding deduction from salary.

There will have to be a judicial enquiry. The dead person's family
will sue the London Police for compensation. A report will be issued
in about 18 months time when everybody has forgotten all about it.
The names of the people really responsible for the murder will not be
mentioned of course.

In the meantime, English cricket fixtures and other relics of the
British Empire will continue as usual. But use by Brazilian police of
London policemen as exemplary role models will cease forthwith.
