Thats the problem with bottom posting!

bottom posting is UseNet convention.

Oh really? Please kindly show me this rule?


do you know the difference between "rule" and "convention?

Yes there is a Usenet RULE about Off Topic posting. Which seems to be
the "convention" on S.E.D.

There seems to be an unwitten rule in usenet that there will always
will be
someone available to tell you when you have broken a convention.

WRT top posting,when a new person views a top posted reply,they probably do
not know just what the reply is to until they scroll down and read the last
post,the one being replied to. it's also annoying.

Worse if someone "snips" the post for brevity.

threads do tend to drift OT,but it's easy enough to ignore them once that
happens,thus no big deal.
