See Bottom for Post

Exactly what qualifies someone as an internet pro, and according to what
standard is posting at the bottom preferred on the internet? Assuming it
is even preferred on usenet.

PS I am not bing a moderator, just commenting like everyone else. Sorry
if my comment took an authoritative tone.

Matt,

Please don't take the bait. Anyone who writes a comment like that is
obviously starving for attention, and the best way to deal with it is to
ignore it.

I hadn't noticed that you were on staff at Fox...

That was just too juicy to ignore. And if you want to play ng moderator,
at least post at the bottom like the internet pros.

So, interesting discussions on the web about top posting vs. the bottom.

Though there seem to be some people using readers that don't like top posts,
and likely more pro-bottom than pro-top people, I didn't find anyone
claiming to be from usenet or any standards body with an answer. That
doesn't mean there isn't, just that my patience is limited on how much
googling I will do.

In fact, the best reason to bottom post, or even snip and post is to keep
the conversation going. It would seem to me that if you were not looking
for a response or conversation that top posting would make a statement to
that effect. If one were trying to enforce a code on this, the only
effective way would seem to be to not respond to top posts.

Also, before I get accused of "trolling", I was not trying to actually get
an answer on the internet pro thing, I was being a smart a**. There is no
such thing as an internet pro.
