I doubt anyone here has thought about it. They just do what makes sense. I
top post in any newsgroup and will continue to do so. "duh who" wrote in message ... "CW" wrote in message news:rfDdb.453114$cF.143797@rwcrnsc53... That's where it should be anyway. I'm talking about the top row of the keyboard. Which brings up that other issue. I notice that everyone here top-posts, i.e. answers other posts by typing at the top of the page. From my experience with other newsgroups, this is frowned upon and is very annoying to deal with. So, is the netiquette different for the sewing groups? I figured I'd cover my bases here by typing in the middle. "duh who" wrote in message ... Leave me alone, or I'll type on the top row again. I'm warning you. |

Exactly.
"IMS" wrote in message ... If quoting a particularly long post, it's perfectly Ok to top post. Who wants to scroll down and down, to read a one-sentence reply? That's more annoying IMHO. .I much prefer reading what people have to say than worring about if they've posted it in the right place. |

I think, if memory serves, that the netiquette for alt.sewing (sent to me by Penny) says you should bottom post. I was top posting till I read this, but have bottom-posted since, on all groups. You're also meant to snip long posts, and not to send 'me too' posts, in the interests of reducing clutter. Whether people top or bottom post, I'm finding it easier to read since I switched to 40Tude, because it colour-codes replies. It was much harder in IE - which top-posts automatically, of course.

That's more annoying IMHO. .I much prefer reading what people have to say than worring about if they've posted it in the right place. I try to remember to snip everything except the bit I'm replying to. Then I post under it, as this is more relevant. On long posts I pop an intro at the top and then answer each bit as it comes up. Mostly I snip and bottom post. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I post on the top. For people that have a slow connection or pay by the minute
this does make a difference. Also there are lots of posts I don't read because I get tired of scrolling through twenty message to see the new reply. Especially if I have all ready been following that thread. Just my two cents, but as someone else said it is equilvant to the toilet paper issue. Take Care Joanna Remove "quilt" to reply |

I almost always post from the top unless I'm making a specific reply to one
part of a post, then I snip and leave just a bit of what I'm replying to and post under. I figure if you really need to refresh in your mind what a post is referring to you can always just click up to the post above or first in a thread. I'm of the "I don't give a rat's patootey which way the toilet paper winds off the roll as long as it's not an empty tube on the spindle after I'm enthroned" school of life.

"Diana Curtis" wrote in message ... Wait a minute!! Do you mean to tell me you can make a man from a pattern?? Really?? Do they do housework? ...........and give foot and back/shoulder rubs? People made from patterns.....I think that may explain my problem, I was cut not quite on the bias, as Kate's bridesmaid dresses from hell......I'm starting to twist, sag and do other most unflattering things the longer I hang in life. In the next life I'm coming back as beautifully lovely yet sturdy and durable dupioni instead of this cheap poly sh*t!! Val |

So, is the netiquette different for the sewing groups? The netiquette is different here because we are more tolerant. The argument about top vs. bottom posting is akin to the argument about which way to place toilet paper on the roll, with the paper coming off the top or the bottom. How about leaving the lid up or down? ;-) |
