I find you making broad generalizations based on the position of words on a

Top posting in a forum for professionals, when one claims to be one,
and the PROTOCOL is NOT to do so, could easily be argued as quite
narrow minded.

The word for today is CONFORMITY.

You conform to standards every day. Many that you have no choice
on. In these forums, just because your lame news reader was written
by a total ditz that gets way more money for his products than he
deserves, doesn't mean that you should just go with your lazy assed
flow. Do you also wear your pants down past your ass, like these
other kids today?

NunYa:

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

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

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...

Apparently not, you top posting twit.

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

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.

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...

Please don't top post.

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.
