"David R. Sky" wrote in message . bc.ca... I don't think I've brought this issue up on this ng previously, but Mirjam's request triggered the realization that I had been deleting many posts without reading them simply because of posting responses at the bottom of extensive quoted text. Cheers David I totally agree with David & Mirjam. It's ridiculous to post a 2 or 3 word or one sentence reply at the bottom of a huge long post. Edit, edit, edit. I even edit out the extra lines between salutations & names if necessary. And I have been known to top post. (shrug) Do everyone a favour and clean up your posts! Shelagh In fact, since the beginning of Usenet, such "me too" posts have been regarded as extremely poor netiquette. |

Starting a reply by quoting the previous message(s) is helpful if a reader
hasn't already seen them. However, I believe that, more often than not, readers here have already seen them and don't need to read them again. In any case, the real problem is the failure to judiciously trim quoted text which is what Mirjam requested when she started this discussion. -- Jan in MN "DA" wrote snipped The logic behind bottom posting is you are replying to a previous message, pages are read from top to bottom, not the other way around.
