  1. So it doesn't mess up the flow of reading.
  2. How come?
  3. I prefer to reply inline. Q.What do you do instead?
  4. No.
  5. Do you like top-posting?

There's an interesting article about posting etiquette here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post

I agree that it is a matter of personal preference, however, when I'm in other people's houses I abide by their rules, and it does seem that the big guns in this newsgroup object to top-posting. So, in the interests of peace, harmony and brotherly love, I'm quite happy to go along with it :) Received on Fri Jul 14 2006 - 09:11:45 CDT
