Re: Top posting and quoting (was Re: [PLUG] Hauppauge PVR-500 capture...)


On my phone I usually only top post. Editing the conversation is just not an option without cut and paste. I seem to be using my phone a bit more to deal with mail recently. So top posting haters will just have to deal.

For me top posting
is easier to deal with as when I come off the last post the new messege
is at the top and I don't have to scroll through a history lesson on
the thread.

But isn't that at least part of the reason for bottom posting, forcing you to
read and remove the irrelevant parts of the history lesson?

No, because the only person who would force you is .. you. And you don't
have to listen to you. :-)


As I didn't listen here, when I didn't trim. Not that there was much I
*could* trim, but you get the point.
