Sure but don't use a capital after a comma punctuation.

Ok, then your brain works slow, not slowly. Is that ok grammar according to
your suggestion ?

Walk slow, Don't walk slowly ok?

As in the common mnemonic for 'No Operation' when dealing with assembly
language?

How arrogant of you to presume to speak for 'most others'.

You certainly don't speak for me.

While the original topic was coil winding, this part of the thread has
gone off-topic and diverged to the point where what's being discussed is
the efficacy of bottom and in-line posting VS top posting.

Consequently, since my comments address top, in-line, and bottom posting
they are relevant.

Isn't comfort and lack of confusion in communications what we should all
strive for?

I've relocated your post so that it follows my earlier one in order that
you might see how much more natural the flow is, chronologically, using
bottom posting.

Just think (if you can) how much easier someone coming across this post
for the first time would find it to understand, reading it from the top
down instead of having to jump about trying to stitch together seemingly
unrelated pieces of quiltwork.

I must say I do like the way the browsers were designed to top post. I hate
scrolling to the bottom and then reading backwards to find the top of their
statements.

Just look at a thread where epople haven't trimmed and the big inserted
lexical levels are hard to pick out and the outside lexical levels are
useless as nobody can count that many right carets to figure out who said
it. The result? People read the previous posts to know who said what,
confusion results in fights from people disagreeing with the wrong people
and just general mass confusion of information, especially with the browsers
meant to download binary files, mainly.

Look at this beautiful format. This is the way every browser I have seen so
far is designed to work. It is always a favourite troll post of the lazy
trolls when losing an argument. "Your format is wrong" makes a good
distraction from the real issue.

Now read very closely in the attached reference posts I may have interlaced
a comment, somewhere...LOL

Your position, at the bottom, assumes that your responses
will be something a reader actually seeks by scrolling past
all your other trolldom utterances.
I actually scrolled down to see if you had posted something
relevant to the topic. But, no. I was disappointed, but not
particularly surprised.
Go back to the bottom where you are comfortable, more easily
ignored.
