Don't think you want to go there.

Vicious personal attack = plonk, at least in my book.

*That's* a vicious attack???? I think someone's insult-o-meter needs recalibration, and I don't think it's mine ...

I think the idiot is the one that needs to look through all the mess to get to the reply. Basically the one that cannot remember what he just read in the immediate above post. Why reread each time if you have any kind of memory. Why not for those that can keep up do we need to have the response at the bottom?

So to in response to your probable response, If you have not read the whole thread or your computer does not show the previous response, read the statement below the top posted response.

Sorry, Kate, but I agree with David's horrible, nasty, ugly, vicious, hateful, war-mongering response. (See? Other folks can overreact, too, Lew. ;)

Tolerance is his virtue. I've plonked half the topposters I've read.

Why? For it to be a logical response, especially on proper (bottom-posted, or interstitial if for multiple phrase replies like this one) responses. It's not as bad when the original post and answer both fit on the screen but it's still a real bother for a lot of people. That said, yes, more people should snip their quotes to only the relevant info. (BTW, topposters never snip anything at all, adding unnecessary delay to Usenet use for everyone.)

What about those who don't have time to read the posts every day, or just started reading the newsgroup?

For those of you who find it hard to bottom-post, get a decent freakin' _newsreader_, fer chrissake! Usenet isn't rocket science.

[Leon]

You have a point there. However I try to remember to snip everything and simply post a response, it naturally ends up at the top. :~)

*snip*

I set my newsreader to show the quoted text in a smaller font than the new text, and often use its skip to next lower unquoted paragraph feature. The whole top, middle, or bottom thing doesn't bother me; my newsreader takes care of it.

That's OK, Leon. Just so you (and other topposters) know, when the burrs build up enough under the Usenet saddle, people start quietly plonking the topposters and their burrs.

It's only natural. Reading Usenet posts is a hobby/pastime only until it becomes not enjoyable. Your option, your risk.

On case where I top post on usenet is to a blind person whom I am replying to. And sometime just to poke at someone who is all to serious about such things.

[your reply invisible]

Well, Kate, here you made a technical error; you started your reply below my sig delimiter (that "--" down there), so it became invisible in my reply (this message) since proper news clients clip out the previous sig in a message being replied to. Prolly because you're using Micro$oft Outlook Express (ver. 6.00.2900.5843 to be exact), which is notoriously bad at handling Usenet conventions like sigs, quoting, etc.

But regarding your other comment: yeah, I have no problem with your version:

"You were wrong, and I'm woman enough to admit it."

[Leon]

Actually there is no risk to "me" of being plonked if I top post... I loose nothing. The plonker OTOH misses out on my vast experience and BS. :~)

[GarageWoodworks]

You need to have a forward of "Warning- don't read while drinking" before those types of responses Leon!!

You could be liable for laptop damages. :^)

OK, I see where you're coming from. I was looking at the fears they play upon, and the vast sums of money generated in quelling those fears. The BigPharm creates fears and finds a cure for it worth billions per cure.
