Which is worse?

100 lines in a post?
Or a completely new post to "announce" it?

The stupid, lazy top-posting with no trimming is far worse, obviously.

The STUPID top posters do more damage than anyone.

Maybe you and the other top posters should grow a freaking brain cell,
and stop being so lazy and selfish.

Grow up indeed. Heed your own words, top poster.

It's not about top vs. bottom posting. Only a top poster could think that
the alternative is bottom posting. It's about discussions... which involve
uhh, dialog. The medium was invented so that people could discuss and
converse about many subjects where Q&A or theory&reasoning could be
interspersed - IOW it's how we talk to each other in oral conversations.
It's a medium of electronic debate, where quoting is used appropriately to
emulate the usual oral debate.

For those who just want to bark out like a dog or let off the odd
brain-fart I suppose top posting seems to fit. Trouble is, you see, they
never trim and we, often as not, get a single line retort followed by 100s
of lines of wasted quote. Bandwidth is still important to many, as is
survival time of posts on the news servers.

It never ceases to amaze me that, when somone posts a series of
paragraphed, numbered points/questions the response can be a series of
numbered responses... all at the top. It's obtuse and ridiculous.

Now if you want to respond to any of the above, surely it's easier for you
and easier for the eventual reader, if you insert any response to the
individual points I've made in situ, immediately after any particular point
you take issue with.

Rgds, George Macdonald

"Just because they're paranoid doesn't mean you're not psychotic" - Who, me??

As I said, you really have too much time on your hands. Top-posting
advocates have a good line of reasoning too... like not having to scroll
through pages on text just to get to the latest post. But who cares? Having
anal people like you (pa)trolling the Usenet just makes me want to top-post
more.
