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.
