This is a straw man. Perhaps, I should rephrase it: Did the first instance of top-posting made the post significantly less readable, with context, than bottom-posting? >> Objections to top-posting *as a rule* is silly. > > please be polite - invective never wins arguments. Please explain what is "invective" (insulting, abusive, or highly critical language) about anything said here. And what would be a polite alternative, according to you? Would you consider the following to be polite? "Objections to top-posting *as a rule* is BS." -srid _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
