Ahh, another flame war in the making. James F. Carroll wrote: > P.S. Is bottom-posting or top-posting preferred on this list? Thanks!
Top-posting is never acceptable, generally. But bottom-posting without trimming or relevant quoting is a bad thing too. Instead, trim your quotes, and reply below each relevant part. This way your message has context. It is acceptable to preface your post with some top-posted statement, as I have done in this message. If you are replying from your iPhone, or from Gmail, I realize that both of these default to having your reply at the top (huge gmail gripe here), but take the extra time to do it right. It just makes things go so much better when group rules and etiquette--written or unwritten--are followed, even in this little thing. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
