Hi, From: "John Nichel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Do the words get smaller at the bottom? Having to scroll thru line after line of message doesn't deal with top vs. bottom posting...that stems from people not trimming non-releative parts out of the message. --- The rules should be made to make the reading process easier for the readers and the top posting versus bottom posting has nothing to do with the trimming of the messages. It is much easier to trim a message when top posting, just as I explained you. I have *never* seen any site dealing with mailing lists/newsgroups that suggested top posting over bottom posting. -- Keep searching. :-) Did you take a survey of list members to come to the conclusion of who remembers what? I usually remember what's going on in a thread only if I've been posting to that thread from the begininning. I, along with many other members of this list post to numerous mailing lists, but according to you, we remember the subject matter of one little thread? And if we don't, it's up to us to scroll thru the mess of top and bottom posted replies so that we can figure out what's going on, just to help someone? --- Yes, if you are not lazy. :-) I have also told that in case of a little thread, I also use to bottom post, because its subject might not be remembered by others. Everyone on this list who falls into this category, raise your hand. I'm sorry if you have a disability and all, but you're suggesting that the good of the one outweighs the good of the many. -- Do you think that I am the only one on this list that prefer top posting? I think the way people like to post on a mailing list depends on how they were used to post and that way tend to be consider the best by them. And that way depends on more things, like the email client used, and that email client depend on the operating system used, and so on. And I have seen that many people that use Unix use to like bottom posting and I don't know why... who knows, maybe the Unix email clients automaticly put the cursor at the bottom of the original message...
