Maybe it's not important to you. My time is precious to me. I
use a reader that shows messages in a treeview. By simply
clicking on the leaf node of a thread, I can get all the
information out of the thread that's relevant, but only if the
quotations have been judiciously snipped, and the responses are
bottom posted.


Your right Bob, it's not that important to ME!, and yes, my time is
important too.

I do however, appreciate your reply.

The only thing of real importance to me is, do I get the answers I need when
I ask questions, and do I get useful information from the other questions
asked and answered in the ng. That's all that matters to me.


The majority for the newsgroup, comp.databases.ms-access,
MOSTLY top-posts, so there I generally top-post. The majority
for the newsgroup comp.lang.python bottom-posts, so there I
bottom-post. When joining a group, I usually lurk around long
enough to find out what the majority prefers, and develop a
feel for group, then I just follow along. No biggy.

I don't accept your comment about the majourity of this group's
replies being top posted. That is not the case.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion on this. I have to admit
"majority" is a probably a wrong choice of word here, but just browsing
through todays replies indicates that some people top-posted, some
bottom-posted, and it doesn't matter to me at all which way they did it,
just that I gleaned some useful info.

This is a religious, almost fanatical, issue for some, and fanaticism
regarding THIS issue, is a real issue for ME. Perhaps some day, I'll be
fanatical about how I and others post...but not this day. Call me heretic.
