For what it is worth, I agree 100%. I have also been top posting for over 30 years.
A lot of times when I open a thread, and, do not see anything but previous posts, I delete the whole thing. Why should I go all the way to the bottom to see what someone may have said, or, to even see if there is something there. Unfortunately, I probably miss out on some good info this way, but, I do not have the patience to sort through it all. If I have been following the threads then I know what has been said anyway. If I have not, the latest top reply might peak my interest. Another thing that really annoys me is when people comment inside of a previous post, about every paragraph/sentence or so. Most of the time it is difficult to tell what was the previous post and when the new response begins. Just put it all on top. Regards - Mike Mike B.

Interestingly, I have always top posted ever since my first email way, way back. Everyone else I dealt with in business did it that way. It wasn't until I got involved with groups like this, that it apparently became a problem. It always seemed logical to me to have the answers to a question at the top i.e. the most recent comment in the chain. No doubt I'll get a lot of replies both top and bottom about this... :-) RK _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
