System Restore

If idiots like Twayne would follow proceedings here for a while, they would
realise that I was spoofed for months.

I do not like his stupidy regarding history of myself here, and his
dangerous stupidity in his replies to OPs.

You must also dislike a lot of MVPs here; thay also top post.

And I am not interested in scrolling down into an abyss of useless info to
find a particular reply, posted by a bottom poster like yourself.

I have always been a top poster, you f***ing idiot.
You can not understand anything; let alone read headers to discover the
spoofers here.

You are just a waste of space; as everybody here knows.
Have a crap holiday; you deserve it!

Top-posters have always been frowned upon by traditional Usenet
aficionados. It is considered to be very bad form.

The first line of your post shows that bad form is apparently a highly
developed specialty of yours.

*Some* "traditional Usenet aficionados" frown upon top-posters. Many
others (including me) do not. And some "traditional Usenet
aficionados" frown upon bottom-posters.

Those who frown on top-posters outnumber all of the others combined
IMO ;-


My view is exactly the opposite of yours. I think those who frown on
bottom-posters greatly outnumber those who frown on top-posters.
Top-posting has become the norm for enormous numbers of people,
primarily because Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail
all put your cursor at the top of the message when you do a reply.


I much prefer to see bottom-posting with some good editing of quoted
material (like this reply) so that only the part that is being replied
to is quoted, or inline posting without editing.


As do I. That's what I said in my message. Once again, personally I
frown on the practice of top-posting, but not on the people who do it.

And I also frown on the practice of bottom-posting when the reply is
at the bottom of a long untrimmed quote.

So to repeat myself, to me, trimming is much more important than
whether it's top-posting or bottom posting.
