Re: [OT] Between the lines of the previous post.
I don't think they contradict at all. The likelyhood of someone having already read much of what was quoted in an ongoing thread is high, but it is certainly not absolute. I may have been following the thread with great interest, while you may have just gotten back from vacation and begun to read your email, or you may have been ignoring it for a time, and decided to catch up on it. The confusion comes in when you try to apply the reading of an email to one single person at a time, and then of course it has to be either or. But I feel I am beating a dead horse here. This has all been gone over and over, and nobody is going to change their minds about how things ought to be. Heck, if people were capable of that we might have peace in our time! :-) Bob On Jul 16, 2012, at 6:52 PM, Mark Wieder wrote: Bob- Monday, July 16, 2012, 10:45:55 AM, you wrote: Because the reply is not to only one person.

Re: [OT] Between the lines of the previous post.
Because the reply is not to only one person. Some may not have read any of the topic, others may have read everything about it. Regardless of any RFC's, I always think in terms of what suits most situations most of the time. I have a young tech here who is constantly quoting best practices. If we put all best practices into practice, we would have to spend a ton of money, and hire a couple more IT people. And what would we gain for all of that? Precisely nothing. What we have works for what we do. Life is much simpler when you think like that.

I was able to open your message, and scroll down eventually to see what you had added… For desktop use it doesn't matter much, but for mobile use it makes a slight difference. Given that top posting isn't such a big thing to cope with on desktop, I just suffer the requests from my colleagues, and top post instead, so that mobile users are happier.

Re: [OT] Between the lines of the previous post.
A post tells a story. Conceivably, all stories could begin with the Big Bang, but for most stories the very beginning of all things isn't relevant to the point, so the storyteller trims the telling to the relevant parts. With posts, I find it easier to read them when they're pruned to include only the relevant portion of the preceding comment. If the author made a mistake and pruned too much, or I just want some further background on the top, the archives are always just one click away. As for order, Citizen Kane and some other good stories are told well starting with the ending. But few stories benefit from that. I prefer to read a reply which includes the portion being replied to before the reply itself. This also makes it easier to exercise judgement about pruning, since of course we want the reader to be able to move past the old stuff and get to the new stuff as soon as practical for the communication at hand. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

That would be the ideal case of top posting. The reader will get the message right away, and can open the message, or scroll further down, if they need reminding about the context.

Re: [OT] Between the lines of the previous post.
Does anyone know of an iOS email client that's designed to bottom post? I hate top posting myself but most of my list responses these days are from the phone which seems to want to make bottom posting difficult. Why would apple design a desktop client that puts the signature at the bottom and a mobile one that puts the signature at the top?

Cool, just found a feature I didn't know about. If you select text then reply only the selected text is included. Now of there were a setting to insert the text at the top I'd be happy.
