Well if a Schnerd says it, I'm sure that Mr. McCarthy agrees.
Therefore, I disagree and will top post this response in opposition. BTW - did you really bang Candace??

That's why some newsreaders automatically place the response at the top of the message. It makes it considerably more difficult to follow a thread. The only thing proper bottom posting requires is trimming quotations to one or two paragraphs max. Then you have an excellent, quite readable post. Most top posters just reply to the comment and don't bother to trim anything off the bottom. They add a tremendous amount of unnecessary bandwidth to any newsgroup. I prefer that I be able to read both the reference and the reply without having to scroll excessively. I don't see that as too much to want. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN http://www.mortimerschnerd.com |
