Hi :)
No, he didn't. He just showed that he has not read any of the posts yet as
his arguments are already countered in previous posts.
Bullshit. You continually do not show the proper attribution in the posts you reply to. You
have not countered this in any post. This has been mentioned many times but you refuse to
correct your email client behaviour.
Besides it doesn't matter how strong the argument against top-posting might be.
The fact is that it is widely used especially by office workers. Do we want
to stop office workers from using LibreOffice? Alienating them would be a good
way to get them to stay with whatever else they already use.
What office workers do is irrelevant. How would support givers properly interspersing and
trimming their replies keep office workers from using LibreOffice?
How would properly interspersing a reply to their questions alienate them?
Betamax was a better format than VHS but it lost the battle for acceptance and now the
argument is irrelevant anyway. Perhaps it is similar with bottom posting. It might be
better but almost no-one in our target markets use it (note the "almost"
there). Most people would rather use forums anyway as mailing lists are ancient and
out-dated.
And that statement is totally irrelevant to the question.
So, do we want to go the route of betamax, ie obscurity, or do we want to get
LibreOffice out there and being used?
How is the request to people giving support to properly intersperse and trim have anything to
do with getting people to use LibreOffice?
