Hi Neil, Dotan Cohen has respond you already and now compare it with this message where I have copied his text and do TOP posting:
I do not understand to what he is responding! ----8<------------------------------------------------------------------ That is because most mailing lists encourage, and some demand, bottom or inline posting. Many list gurus will not even read top posted messages. That is common for users of one particular email client who's default behaviour is to top post, and who's users have not used mailing lists in the past. For personal email, where answers to questions come _after_ the question chronologically, top posting is fine. For mailing lists, with web archives and hundreds of users, top posting is counter productive. Go ahead and explain. Your opinion is no less valid than mine. ??????????, ?????? ???? ???? ?????????? ?????????? ?????????? ??????????. Actually, I personally do prefer to read from right to left. Some like to drive on the left side of the road, some on the right. But in any specific environment, one way is preferred. For personal one-on-one email, top posting makes sense and I do it too. For mailing lists, it's bottom- or inline- posting. For the people who deal with mailing lists all day, this is a very important issue. I am active in over 40 mailing lists. Your 'little quirk' multiplied by 40 makes for a big waste of my time. Dotan Cohen Am 2008-05-07 13:50:00, schrieb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > Bottom posting makes no sense to me.
