You and all the others incapable of comprehending the reasons
for top-posting being bad and for the need for snipping are
fucked in the head.

I am ASTOUNDED at the level of stupidity in the XP groups
compared to the pre-XP groups. And /they're/ not full of
geniuses, not by a long shot.

Because you're using a bad newsreader. Microsoft has made a career
of subverting Internet standards -- look at the sequence of Internet
Explorers for more evidence.

It is better to put the most recent correspondence on the top, reverse
chronological filing. Why many think scrolling to the bottom of each
message makes sense, doesn't for me. If one is exchanging letters with
others would you put the most recent letter on the top, or bottom of the
pile? If you select the bottom, every time you made reference to it you
would need to pick up the pile and pull the bottom letter; in a business
environment, chaos.

Take care,

If you have perfect memory and never get confused by anything
and remember EVERYTHING everybody says, and recall references to
links made 20 posts earlier by someone who only posted once ever
so s/he is not a friend of yours, then fine. But I don't know
many people like that.

One of the things that made text Usenet great (when it /was/
great instead of crippled and slowly being killed off) was that
you could engage in interesting (or stupid) threads, and it is
much easier to keep LOGIC /logical/ when it is in FORWARD
chronological order.

Also, you don't leave posts in their entirety. You reply to what
you feel needs a comment, right below, and you <SNIP> what is
not relevant or IYO unnecessary for further discussion.
