I have to suffer through dealing with people like the two of you quoted above. You can deal with people who'd like to top post. Anything else is just being a spoiled baby who can't deal with minor issues. If all the energy spent crying about top posting were used to fuel cities none of us would be paying for power right now. Sorry to be so blunt but it really irritates me when people cry like 4 year olds about top posting. It's not that bad, get over it.

If it's not brought to the attention of the masses, then it will simply grow, and it simply is not the way it's done on this list. Get use to it. Now who's doing the 4 year old crying??

Yes, I'm bitching, crying, or whatever you'd like to call it. But you notice, I'm still attempting to follow the proper posting etiquette for this list. However, I do not see any actual valid reason that top posting cannot ever be acceptable except that some people are way too stuck in a mental rut and refuse to allow for anything other than their way. You will also notice that I am far from the only one who follows the rules while simultaneously questioning whether there is any point in condemning top posting.

I believe that my conforming to the "rule" shows that I am willing to cater to the wishes of the overly anal people on this list. That they cannot allow any deviation from their narrow mindset shows you that the real problem we've been talking about is with them.
