When I first joined the lug mailing list it was pointed out to me that I made several mistakes first of these was top posting.
The reason is was given for this being wrong where put very simply. When a conversation is in flow it is harder to understand (for everyone else) what is being said when top posts are applied. This is partially because of the wonderful list sending a reply before a post. If however you add your comments under the original posters then it makes far more sense to everyone reading it. It was also put to me that you would listen to what someone said then add your comments if you were in a room talking so why not treat the list as though it were a transcript and therefore add your comments to their rather than over. >From then on in the only time I have ever top posted has been when emailing a reply from my phone as it has no means of moving the post down. Then when I got home and could use my pc first thing I do is appologise for top posting. It is just more polite it also helps highlight points. --- Seek That Thy Might Know -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
