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.

Your knowledge of what is or is not use or that of what is or is not
a gui based reader is hovering around nil.

Let'em get a decent news reader...


Your knowledge of what a "decent news reader is IS at nil.

Your knowledge of this forum, and the proper way to utilize it is
not at nil as you have been informed. You simply ignore the facts and
choose to be a backward ass about it.
