Re: [OT] TOP-POSTING

Even though the original reply was given contained good advice for resolving the problem and also informed the poster in a nice way that posting after the message is easier to follow than posting a reply at the top of the message is to follow. The term top-posting was not known what it was by the poster. I guess top-posting is better known on this list than it is elsewhere.

Probably a few years ago, I stated that posting either above the message, within the message or below the message being replied to does not matter to me.

Maybe suggesting trimming out content not needed to reference the reply and putting the reply below the message if summarizing what was posted would be better.

Simply asking those to reply below the post instead of do not top post would be better understood. Also one would be direction while the other form would be telling someone what not to do.

It does not matter to me. This topic probably does not need a lot more discussion. My comments are probably too much also.
