Making a copy of a DVD

You've just provided an argument against `snipping'. You've just taken a
portion of a conversation out of context. By doing so you illegitimately
attempt to validate your own opinion.

By removing the line that precedes what you've quoted:

"What I'm attempting to convey in my comment:"

.... you've corrupted the conversation to your own ends by making it appear
that I've just either bottom-posted or replied in-line; causing me to appear
as a hypocrite.

The section your are referring to should properly read, and I quote:

"What I'm attempting to convey in my comment:

Top posting is where I'm at, and will stay at. Chances are, when you
opened
this letter, you recognized that the reply was `right here' ... three
seconds and you found your goal. Life is good. 8)

.... is that when you opened your reader program, when you selected this
message to read, what did you see first? ..."

If usenet content was friendlier towards quoting, indentation and other
formating tools, I could have made a more elaborate quoting implementation,
however, it is also obvious that once you read the mis-quoted element in
context, the portion of text you have deliberately edited is meant as quoted
content.

top-posted
reply. This effort took all of three seconds for you to recognize. No
other effort, no matter how small, was required by you to process my
reply.
No mousing, no scrolling. Chances are very good that you grew up in a
culture that reads top to bottom. And where is my reply text right now?

In some strange places, it seems.
