I do lead by example. But I will not be silent on this. Top posting is
wrong. It is selfish, inconsiderate and stupid.


As a lurker and occasional poster, the example you seem to set is one of an
argumentative sod. You may not be silent on it if you wish, but more and
more people will stop listening to you and stick you in their kill files.
You do make good contributions to aus.bike, so it would be your loss and
their loss if they did so.

People know your views on top posting. I happen to share them, but you
don't need to ram it down their throats. Doing so doesn't win anyone over
to your cause and just makes people more likely to stand their ground even
if they have even a slight inclination to change their ways.

People who would killfile me instead of the troublemakers are probably not
people I would want to converse with anyway.

The morons who read my sig and hit upon the least original idea on the Net
and go,"I know, I'll show him - I'll top post 'No, it's not!' her-her-her"
are not going to be persuaded by appeals to either reason or consideration
for others anyway.

Keep posting Andrew. Your contributions are worthwhile.

Second that! I too had a run in with Drs with him falsely accusing of
all kinds of stuff
That is not true. Google is my friend. You did say the false things
about *me* I accused *you* of and I cited your own posts to prove it.
Must I do it again?

Because top posting is selfish, inconsiderate and stupid. Saying nothing is
to acquiesce and I won't do that. If you people want this sort of thing to
stop then stop being silent even though you know I'm right and you agree
with me. The more people who speak out the earlier the better.

Oh, yes they did and if you start up that **** again I'll rub your nose in
it again. You misrepresented me, I proved it then and I'll prove it again
and again as long if you keep bringing it up.

And according to everyone (and yes i mean EVERYONE in here) google is

More bull****.

Bull****. Standing up for what's right cannot ruin anything. It's the
****heads who are ruining this forum, them and the fools who don't care if
they take over.

tete-a-tete

You started it. Don't try to tell me I can't finish it.
