Top or Bottom Posting?
Don't quote anything at all and let the readers figure out what you're
referring to... ;-) Nah, i generally prefer bottom posting... i say prefer, it's kinda more the result of being driven home with a massive hammer. I have for several years participated on a Railway group and on there if you constantly top post you get hastled about it and some even take to killfiling to rid themselves of a top poster. A bit lame and pathetic really, but that's trainspotters... no rail enthusiasts for you. ;-) So generally for once i go with the flow, which is not usually like me at all. I can see the arguments about bottom posting being better and i generally agree with them. However top posting is sometimes more effective if it's short and snappy. I generally feel uncomfortable top posting myself but that's force of habit, i don't particularly have problems either way. The only thing that does annoy me very much is not actually related to top posting but more to bottom posting. Where individuals take a huge block of writing that goes beyond the first page of google (so you have to click on the 'read rest of message' bit), well they take that huge block of text and quote the whole damn lot and stick in response... 'ditto' or the like. Now that is a waste of time, they could just top post that if they can't be bothered to cut and paste. Sylvester. |

I dunno why this google reply system refuses to co-operate with me,
but since this will end up at the bottom of the page threads it'll be near where it should be. The aforementionned railway group is just as active as this place is, if not more so actually. Called UK.Railway, a search in the groups section of google would soon bring that up. Sylvester. |
