I have to suffer through dealing with people like the two of you

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.
However, with your name calling and vernacular attributions, you
obviously don't want to participate at the same level of
professionalism as the rest of "them".
