"The Russian Blue" book, anyone?

Oh boo hoo Bob. I hardly think posting style is the issue here, but
since you are blindly groping for anything to criticize that would
allow you to insult me, then I guess my posting style is as good as
anything to attack. I top post because I prefer to read messages that
way. I don't need a line by line of everything that I have just
gotten through reading. Your posting style of replying at the end
irritates me. I spoke rashly when I called you an idiot. What I
actually believe is that you are ignorant. Ignorant people hold
tenaciously to their beliefs regardless of any logical persuasive
argument, and even in the face of compelling evidence that they are
wrong, will continue to defend their erroneous beliefs.



The idiot is you - and a top-posting one at that, how much lower on
the intelligence scale can you get.

To whom? Your mother?

Any ISP or moderator isn't going to give a flying **** about some
petty complaint about name calling and flame wars. Really, they just
don't care. There are no "feelings police" make people be nice to you.
Its laughable that you think anyone cares.

I hate jumping in on such a stupid post but dear God, you give someone
a little access to the internet, and they become complete morons.

Bob, I don't know you nor do I care to know you, but you are one of
the most amusingly stupid trolls I've had the pleasure to come across
in a long time. A hint, you're not so "leet' anymore just because you
are aware of the "old" rules for posting in usenet. Like many other
things on the internet, netiquette is constantly evolving, and top
posting is much more common than replying inline. Like the addition of
the word ain't to the dictionary, it may not make the best sense, but
it is acceptable.

I'm sure you live a miserable small life where no one notices you,
which is why you've chosen to be such an obvious thorn in everyone's
side, but here is another hint : you still don't matter. Validating
your existence through the people you **** off is probably the saddest
thing I have seen so far.

No Bob, you are the selfish, ignorant person. If someone is responding
to a particular statement within a posting, then yes, please do quote
that statement just above your reply.

If you are responding to the entire posting in general, please, please
post at the top. It's really stupid to have to scroll though countless
lines of the same posting time after time just to get to a one line
reply at the damn bottom of all of it.

All of you should know by now that Bob Brenchley is a fool and a
troll. He is most likly the only person in the world that thinks of
him as anything else. Please DO post at the top if you are replying to
the entire post and just delete the "old post". That way it saves
bandwidth, time, and a lot of unnecessary reading.

Thanks,

Tim

It's even more of a pain to scroll through the rest of the message
anyway, only to discover that 50 lines of message have been quoted
with no attempt to prune for context. It's also a waste of bandwidth
(and outside of 10pm til 8am, I pay for mine by the 5k).

Please, if you're responding to a message generally, note that all you
really need to quote of that message is enough context to let the rest
of us know which message you're responding to! After that, whether
you're responding at the top or the bottom is insignificant - it just
flows more like a conversation if you bottom-post.

The old Pnews program used to reject posts if you quoted more text than
you originated. Sometimes I miss that.

Rubbish. Top posting is never justified and just shows the ignorance
of the person doing it.

It is about time you learnt how to format a proper usenet post/reply.
http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html will give you a good start.

Failure to learn will label you either a moron or a selfish,
inconsiderate, illiterate plonker - it is all down to you.
