I agree entirely.

However, it is not the top-posters who originate
the rather silly neurotic threads on the matter. It is the
bottom-posters who so behave and so illustrate
their mental problems.

(As do religionists demonstrate their mental problems
in that they live in a world of make-believe)

The top-posters only exercise their right of reply to
state the truth that top-posting _IS_ the preferred option.

Ahh.

Top-posting is the preferred option - you get to
see the new content without having to page down
through loads of already-seen quotations.

That's your opinion. Not mine.

It's not just my opinion, it's the blatant truth that you get to
see the new content without having to page down
through loads of already-seen quotations.

Bad manners are no excuse! Learn to be polite and follow the
rules!

Your outburst below seems to be self-referential
in terms of bad manners.

There is no association with manners in the free and
personal choice of whether to post at the top or at the bottom,
it's just that - a free choice.

There is nothing that it impolite in exercising a free choice as to
style of presentation - if you think that there is - then you condemn
yourself by being impolite to those of us who are top-posters.

That you choose to target those whose choice is not your own
would seem to suggest that if anybody be the habitué of bad manners,
then it is you.

There are no rules on the matter.

Your post below is a shining example of why top-posting is the
better and preferred option, for, in order to read what you put,
a page down was necessary. Another example of bad manners
from you, in fact, because you inconvenience those who just sit
on the "next" button to thumb through a NG.

Another bad mannered top poster made his insensitive obvious and
ignore good advice so attempt to prove his defective preference
for breaking rules and being a general pain!

What do you need to teach manners? I see your mother failed!
Also you are not even trying!

There are rules by convention. But you choose to ignore them.

Since we are all free to exercise one option. Finding a poster
where there is
no intelligence conveyed! PLONK!

BYE

For someone who is shouting the odds about
bad manners, your outburst below really takes
the biscuit. It is the most hypocritical of rudeness.

Conventions are not rules - if they were to be so, then
everyone, including you, would follow the convention
of top-posting.

As to your rather silly and infantile outburst below....

Firstly, it is random nonsense and complies with none
of the conventions (or, in your own logic, rules) of written
English - hypocrisy once again from you, it would seem.

Secondly, grow up, Clarence!

Stupid boy.
