John,

Its very nice of you to keep everyone on their toes.

But, the discussion procedded nicely without bitching about top vs bottom posting.

Make you wonder if it really matters.


No, the fact that it didn't immediately come up doesn't matter. It
did come up, and what he actually added is a key question.

Of course it matters.

We have someone who is clearly having problems conveying what he
wants, and he compounds it by top-posting, so his replies are
not completely connected to the bits he is replying to.

This whole thread is about clarity. Formulating exactly what it
is he wants, asking the right questions. Top posting is not
about clarity.

Michael and all others whom are adament about top vs bottom posting.

It seems that if you can not complain about top posting, then please do not respond at all.

The clarity of the OPs question was doing fine until this issue came up (again).

If this means so much to you, then just don't respond at all.

Your in-ability to keep track of the discussion at hand will not diminsh the discussion.

Those whom can keep track of what happening will respond and those whom are lost should not respond at all.

Just don't get on your high horse and say its the way it should be done.

It does not matter, except to you ( the proverbal you ).
