Actually, there is no standard "netiquette" across all lists just as there is no standard Linux distro. Freedom reigns. The fact is that bottom posting requires one to scroll down past often uncut reams of text with the hope of something worth reading at the bottom. On a list one actively monitors it is much quicker to glance at the new text and to then determine if it is even necessary to scroll down at all. Much more efficient, especially for those of us who receive tons of E-mails on tons of lists every day and don't have time to waste scrolling down every post to see if anything useful is contained in the new text. If there were to be any "netiquette" across the lists I care about it would make far more sense for it to be top posting. IMHO, YMMV ... doc On Sun, 2003-04-13 at 14:11, Elton Woo wrote: > On April 13, 2003 12:21 pm, Colburn wrote: > > [Responding to post at bottom.] > > > ... that's why top posting is so confusing, not to mention > poor 'netiquette'. > > cheers, > > Elton ;-) > --
