I have a gmail account, although I'm not using it for this list.
Gmail is set to assume top posting, but somehow, none of my
replies go out top posted. Think of it as an IQ test, and try
not to fail again.
Okay, i googled what top posting is.
I did not to post, i just never quote what i'm replying too since
text is not quoted when one press the answer button on gmail.
What's the point of quoting everything when you just have to read the
previous message 3centimeters on top?
Also you sir are very rude, what the hell is wrong with you?
You are wrong sir.
Reason why experienced people prefer bottom posting (i.e. replying) is
because new people who want to read the whole thread in the hope that
they find a solution similar to their problem, will be able to read the
whole
exchange and understand the relationship of the replies to the previous
posts or replies.
If you do not think this is useful, try to read a book about quantum physics
by reading pages at random and see if you understand anything and how it
relates
to the rest of the book.
