Re: Jam Police Radar with Cold Plasma

Greetings John..

Regarding:
"While the concept may be foreign or, possibly, even repugnant to
you, even Google advises bottom posting:"

While I appreciate the consideration, I REALLY don't care what
Google believes as "appropriate." I'm not using them now for
newsgroup access and have no plans on using them for newsgroups.
If you're using a newsgroup reader that lists the thread in a
chronological time order, not an issue anyway. There, you see,
you didn't even need to scroll down to the bottom of the listing
to get the reply. Thus, not too much work for you, John.

Cheers,
Mr. Mentor

| "Summarize what you're following up.
|
| When you click "Reply" under "show options" to follow up an
existing
| article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes,
with the
| cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just
start
| typing your message, please STOP and do two things first.
| Look at the quoted text and remove parts that are irrelevant.
| Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there.
| Doing this makes it much easier for your readers to get through
your
| post. They'll have a reminder of the relevant text before your
| comment, but won't have to re-read the entire article.
| And if your reply appears on a site before the original article
does,
| they'll get the gist of what you're talking about."
|
| Note that "following up" implies trailing instead of leading.
