[Coco] Etiquette Question

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

No, you just started another fight over this.

I top post because what is new is easily found as messages are displayed
starting with the top in Windows Mail / Outlook Express.

If there are programs that start with the bottom of a post displayed, then
bottom posting may be better for some. Any examples?

Some people never trim posts and you need to scroll downward a lot to see
what is new. @%^$^%^&

> Usenet, etc., I bottom post

Sorry if I offended you with @%^$^%^& but lately I have had to scroll
downward a lot on several Usenet lists.

And then there are those persons who add a single line in the middle of a
very long post, many times just "yes" and it takes a lot of work to discover
that is all that was added.

Rarely is it worthwhile to put comments embedded like Gene says unless there 
are many points replied to.

Subsequent posts become almost impossible to read if they get very long.

Sorry Gene, I just have to agree to disagree with you on this.

SHF
