Jesus ! Don't you all think that this circus has been going on for to
long? May I remind you that this mail list is dedicated to help people
to run OO correctly and to read endless philosophic statements about top
or bottom posting. I think you have forgotten.
Personally I top post, and if Mr. Fred Miller does not want to read me,
so be it. I will still sleep at night.
Please stop all this and go back to the basics.
Best regards
Alberto Muller

But it is not policy on this list, and I hope that it never is. I too
have a rule, Fred -- if it's bottom-posted, and I can't see the new
post when I open the message in full screen, the message gets deleted
without being read. Only exception is threads in which I have a
particular interest. I don't have time to waste scrolling down
through all the old stuff that I've read in previous messages. Simple
really.

Thanks for your help. Another poster just claimed there was no "top
posting is alway wrong" crowd. I said there was.
It's interesting how people have the same reason for doing different
things.
I find it's a waste of time to scroll down to find the most recent post
on most threads and you find just the opposite.
I don't to limit my responses to only those posts that accommodate my
own preference, but as everyone here is a volunteer, you're entitled to
act according to your own policy.
On some lists I'm on, it IS policy. If you don't bottom post, you'll be
warned once and after that you won't post. In fact, there's a number of
lists I know of like that......one of them has well over 600 members.
