While you're at it, don't forget to mention that you were the rude one that didn't want to abide by the list etiquette, erroneously thought it fine to be a lout, and erroneously thought it wrong to be told to stop doing what you shouldn't be doing. I don't know where you learnt your manners from, but you didn't learn them very well. When you get told to wipe your feet before tramping mud in the house, you do what you should have done without having to be told about it, and you don't bitch about it. I have no sympathy for people who've not managed to learn something so basic, like that, that they should have learnt before they even attended school. When someone wants help from a list, it's up to them to fit in with the list, and not dummy-spit that they shouldn't have to fit in with others. You had it pointed out once, you carried on, you got told again. You'll keep on get "corrected" until you get it right. The solution for not getting told off for being a pain is up to you, the answer is simple. You've already had the "caring" (pointing out how this list runs), the "don't care" has been you. Those of the regulars who want to be here, and keep things running smoothly, point these things out from time to time. Top posting crap has been getting worse, of late. It's not welcome here, at all. It's bad enough downloading so many megs a month, without having someone else artificially bloat the traffic with unneccessary cruft, and it'd be bloody awful if everybody did it. A few hundred monthly messages all twenty times bigger than necessary, and it adds up very quickly. Seriously, if you want to do top-quoting against the list norm, and without snipping out unneccessary prior message content, and expect that everyone should just put up with your lack of care, then DO go elsewhere. Go and waste other people's bandwidth, instead. Bloated messages waste everybody's bandwidth and storage space (the list server's, and all of the list participants).
