Besides, our shtick is teaching people how to sew.

New bumpersticker: "Topstitching, not top-posting"

How about: "Sew many seams, so little time"?

groan...but good.

I'm going to change my name to "Jack, the Seam Ripper". Oh the horror.

The rules are changing tho. It was considered rude to top post back in the
early days... for reasons I cant remember..but now the common sense rules
say post at the top, post at the bottom, but please remember to trim the
posts.
In one group I know top posting is preferred since so many of the readers
have stiff hands and cant scroll down easily. In other group top posters
are
mocked and humiliated.

Even if you do top-post, leave some space between your comments and the
rest. When I get a dense block of text with includes the poster's message,
and a bunch of gobbledy-gook in the header, both jammed together, its a
pain.

Thanks for the tip. I'm new to Usenet. I spend most of my online time
between the web and IRC so I'm not familiar with Usenet conventions

The rule is very simple: you top-post if, and only if, you
quote the entire post.

They used to not go in, but with the kitchen remodel the only place we
could find for the catbox was in the bathtub.

Ours, being well trained to the outdoors, only get a litter box if they
are ill and need to be confined to the house.

We don't "do" outside cats, or ours would be the same.

Yep, I try to remember but sometimes I rush and leave all that blue
garbage
sitting there. There should be a name for that ... tailors chalk? Hmmm...
Oh, and signing ones posts is considered good manners too.. wink, wink,
nudge, nudge.

What part of "Duh Who" don't you understand? ;-)

Due to past problems, I"m usually reluctant to reveal my real name on the
web.

You should feel honored I gave in a little bit. ;-)
