Hello all,
Years ago when I last worked daily, and before my timeout, with BPC, the
deal was to not top post. There were usually corrective comments if somebody
forgot him/herself and in no uncertain terms.
Has that changed over the years, and one can now top-post without
infuriating and invoking the wrath of the senior members and list admins on
this list?
Seeing as how most mailers now top-post per default, I thought I'd ask...
Thanks for any insights.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?
An old quote, but I always thought it summarized things nicely.
I use top-posting for business and casual emails, but bottom / interleaved for
mailing list replies. The only exception is when there is already an established
chain of top-posted replies since the most confusing thing of all is an email chain
where top and bottom posting have been intermixed.
