Louie
Don't worry about top posting -- most people do it -- and many find it easier to read. You don't have to scroll through a lot of old stuff to get to the message. "Louie" wrote in message ...

On Thu, 4 Dec 2003 19:18:50 -0500, "First Last" had this to say and I had
to reply to it: ::Louie :: :on't worry about top posting -- most people do it -- and many find it ::easier to read. You don't have to scroll through a lot of old stuff to get ::to the message. :: :: :: That well be true, but it is not the internet standard at 99.9% of Usenet. The exceptions I have seen are the Microsoft groups not a big surprise there does not also mean the information from the poster is any less valid. Ben & Metronid both do a fine job at assisting It is a personal preference coupled with a Usenet standard. That is all there is to life on this matter. And on average if you read any long length of posts from this group from say 1993-to-date most are bottom replies. I just looked at a joke someone posted about the top-bottom posting If I find it today I will post it, but it was sort of like the Questions were on the bottom and the answer on top. And it made no sense except for a humorous post. Elector |

We are now working on two "no no's" of this group. Which has already been pointed out to the last known troll poster that started trouble here. Please read my tiraid with our last troll poster. It all started over "newsgroup faux pas" Elector |

I for one think you do this group a great service. I read where another regular stated "if not for you this group would be worse off".

Nah, I just kill filed elector. rtfm was right. Well that was shown as a lie, to kill file a poster means you don't see or reply to a post. So now we have another kook on our hands? rtfm is a proven phony and liar and troll. If that is the sort of ilk you want to be associated with then please stand over there in the other side of the room marked: Kooks & Trolls. This group is for folks that want real help and friendship. Elector |

"First Last" wrote in message ... Nah, I just kill filed elector. rtfm was right. Not that I have not seen Mr. Elector's reply to you, I must say when kooks come out they come out in droves. So now because the gentleman advised you that top posting and html were not allowed in this group. You like the other kook (rtfm) attack the advisor in this group. Makes a load of sense. And a kill file is like Mr. Elector stated, to not be seen. Where your posts will now be going if anyone here is smart to do so. Kill files are quite functional on the noise level in the group; the people here for the most part are friendly and helpful, and we don't need any more trolls either former or present in this group. So please move along to another group where people will want to see your trolling. news:alt.kooks comes to mind. Elector and the regulars have assistance to give.

I join the Microsoft Corporation, Ben Meyers, and many others in my
preference to top post. (Please don't attempt to suggest that anything is "allowed" or "disallowed" on an un-moderated list.) This is why they make vanilla and chocolate. IF you don't like it, don't read my messages! In OE, the "kill file" is a message rule, and the rule disposes of messages according to how I create the rule. In the case of elector, I found his language and bullying beyond belief and created a rule that took anything from him, marked it as read and deleted it. However, if anyone responded to anything he wrote, depending upon how judicious they were in editing, some might come through. As everybody knows, no system is perfect and sometimes unexpected things happen. If you think that character is friendly, then we have different definitions of the word. Again, chocolate and vanilla. Finally, if you wish to chat about net etiquette, is this really the place? If you wish to lurk or post here, there, or on your alt.kooks ng, be my guest. I'll read and post on the ngs that are of interest to me. Thanks. FWIW, when you respond -- even in a thread -- to something that is not mainstream to the group, courtesy dictates putting the label "(OT)" (for off topic) into the subject line. Again, thanks for your opinion. "Winston" wrote in message ... So now because the gentleman advised you that top posting and html were not allowed in this group. You like the other kook (rtfm) attack the advisor (!) in this group. Makes a load of sense. And a kill file is like Mr. Elector stated, to not be seen. (See above) the people here for the most part are friendly and helpful, and we don't need any more trolls either former or present in this group. So please move along to another group where people will want to see your trolling. news:alt.kooks comes to mind. Elector and the regulars have assistance to give. (presumptuous!) |
