An Apology

"Alex" wrote in message

I don't agree with you. I like postings at the top, unless they are in
response to specific points. Usually I read down a thread and don't
need to scroll through all the same crap that I saw in the previous
thread.

Not snipping extraneous material is also wrong but what you are saying is
that two wrongs make a right, but they don't. Top-posting is never
justified.

What annoys me more than top posting, which doesn't annoy me at all is
people who respond to a thread and you have to look all the way down
the bottom to find that they have said something quite arcane, such
as, "yeah"

I think I understand where you are coming from. Although that is not a
pretty image. You studied latin at school didn't you. And post means
after. And that is where it should be placed. I finally see the
light. Please accept my humblest apologies, oh learnd one.

I would if it was sincere, which it clearly is not.

Actually, i read it as indeed being sincere, Drs. Perhaps you could back
off occasionally and take the prickly hat off.

PS totally OT, but a few threads ago you mentioned you would be faster
than me cos your bike's wheels were bigger than my mtb's (think of
the wierdest stuff on a bike, i does). piffle! i say. Triathletes use
650c wheels to go faster, and your wheels are bigger than Lance's,
but i bet you aint wearin yeller

Maybe you should stop always trying to make me out to be the bad guy. If
his apology was sincere he would have bottom posted it.

I'll take efficiency over some form of imposed custom any time.

However in posting is more efficent. If quoted correctly it results
in smaller posts and the context of the reply is immeditly clear.

The classic AOL reply, yes it is extreemly annoying.

I can think of many things more important than a eutopia where only bottom
dwellers exist.

Oh for Usenet before the september that never ended.
