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

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!

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.

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.

Now, now, no need to be snarky. I was merely adding in my 2 cents worth of
support, since I hadn't written about it earlier.
