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.
