Fat can't cause festering sores, can it?

I am trying to be better when I post.... but not all the time!

s'ok Perple, I'm a chronic top poster as well. And I've been on Usenet
for years. Shall we cease this annoying habit and reform? LOL

First of all, most of us don't top-post. (Wave to Perple.)

I don't care where people post, as long as they snip the irrelevant
parts so someone has a clear context of what is going on in the
conversation ;-)

Too many people will quote a 500 line post in its entirety, and in a
superior "tone" proclaim "It's standard usenet protocol to post at the
bottom!", completely ignoring that it's ALSO standard usenet protocol to
give the post a good ole haircut.

Well, I do care (Susan got my hopes up until I realized she was kidding)
because I have to go and cut and paste people into bottom posting when I
reply to their replies in a thread so that it can be read and followed.
But it's not my Cause of the Week. Really. Even though this is my
second post on this. I *do* realize that I don't get to set the rules
for the world. (Wave to Martha.)

I totally agree with this and had to go check my post to make sure I
snipped! It'd be like the usenet rule about spelling flames, i.e., that
every spelling flame has its own grammatical or spelling error in it.

What really made bottom posting cease to be a scrolling adventure to me
was finding out that the space bar will page down in the 3 different
newsreaders I've used. It's easy to get there s

I top posted when I first started... because Outlook Express always
put me right there. I have since mended my ways with Agent.

Let's put it this way, it's an easier habit to break than not eating
breakfast was...

But, just wanted to comment that I didn't realize Mu was still
posting... its so nice to have finally gotten a good filtering
mechanism...

Mu morphs all the time to make it hard to killfile him. So if he's
here, then my KF must have finally caught up to all his aliases.

Yea!!!
