I see you've changed your mind about bottom posting. There are other groups
where the preference is top posting. When in Rome and all that.

God, I hate top posters. I read hundreds of posts and when I trip
across a top post there's usually no way I can put it in context
without scrolling down and then back to the top to figure out what
the hell they're talking about. I probably **** some people off by
snippig to much, but believe me I (Really) try to post comprehensible
comments.

Good try Dana, but you're assuming that your recipient has
some awareness of the world around him/her. I personally
read hundreds of posts and my memory was one of the first
things to go. Top posts are extremely irritating to me. Some
folks just don't give a shit. On top of that they're too stupid
to set their mail client to put the cursor at the bottom. Cheers,
and keep posting. Your comments are a breath of fresh air.

Wayta go, Paul. It's always nice to see someone be smart and reasonable.
This group obviously prefers bottom posting and since you're willing to play
by the rules, I think most everyone will be pleasant and helpful. It's the
noobs who come in here and tell the group that they're gonna do it however
they want that run in to trouble.

BOB, unplonk this reasonable fellow, whydontcha?

After his personal attack and use of horrible language, (if this is the same
Bob that called me that), I doubt he has the kindness to do what you ask.

I certainly hope he doesn't represent the tone here. I certainly didn't
intend to mandate how the group was to be run.

HUH? I never said I'd plonked it. I think I said something like:
"Well, if that's you attitude (come to a new newsgroup and tell everyone how
*YOU* want the group to run), into the BOZO bin with you. Ass Hole."

That was in response to his:
"I don't bottom post.. You seem to have some preconceived notion that top
posting is bad. Sorry to hear that. I suppose we both had some
pre-conceived notions."
for his (about) third post to this group. Oh, and under at least two different
identities:
"before anyone has a cow <giggle>, I have already changed my name from
Adelphia to PQ. Dunno how it got set that way in the first place."

Doesn't know how it changed, my ass.

I don't remember anything that this particular dip has had to say that is of any
merit, at all. Just complaints about the group and the participants. But I
*will* keep watching.

Nope, not good, Paul. Not good. We were lookin' for "Bygones," not
criticism.

If you can't handle a little "language," you're not gonna like this group
much anyhow. The tone here varies from really pleasant and helpful to about
as tough as it gets. Thin skinned people don't last.

Like I said in my response to Jack Curry...

Horrible language? HaHaHaHa. This is usenet. Calling you an ass hole is
relatively tame.

Yes he does, pefectly, in fact when we need representation to r.f.c. we
usually pick on him to do the honors. And ****in-a he does a good job. If
you stick around long enough we might let you represent us to the newsgroup
alt.fan.pjr.has.asparagus.tits or even more exciting,
alt.fan.scarecrow.boo.hoo.hoo.used.tissue.

BOB (Why all the caps?) is right. He never plonked. And I am a magician by
trade now (when not programming), BOZO's make balloon animals.

Can't we all get along?

Actually it's the quilting group that prefers top posting. They won't
object if you bottom post but the majority of them top post. There are
several of them that won't read posts that are bottom posted. I imagine the
needlework group mostly top posts too.

You can go over there and try and stir up some shit, but don't forget they
have sharp pointy things. LOL

Personally I prefer bottom posting simply because it makes more sense.
