It is becomming more prevelent all the time. It make sense. When you meet
someone and they say "how ae you?" do you respond "how are you, I am fine,
and you"? Try it for a day. Everytime someone says somethng to you repeat it
back to them before responding.

Hmmm... try reading a book, paragraph at a time, from the back.

Try going to the end of the book to find the beginning.

This anlogy always comes up and is stupid. It is more like try reading a
book that every time you turn the page, the sast paragraph from the previous
page is repeated before moving on. I don't know about you, but I can
remember something from one post to another. If I have forgotten a detail, I
can always look below and refresh my memory but if someone bottom posts, I
am forced to look past things I have already read to get to the part I'm
looking for.

Yes they should but often don't. Doesn't matter whether I am skipping over a
little or a lot, I shouldn't have to skip over anything. The days of 9600
baud modems and days between replies are over. Bottom posting is no longer
necessary.

If people snipped properly, that wouldn't be a problem.
