OK... where is the charter for alt.html?
If it says that I can't top post then I wont.

No, I didn't. At the moment I don't have time to read a novel. I will read
it when I get a chance.
From what I can tell it talks about posting my comments to a reply below the
quoted text, but I'm not sure of this until I have the time to read it.
If that is the case, it ain't gonna happen.
I reply with my text ABOVE the quoted text, and do so for a reason.

It's because you're a lazy tosser, isn't it?

Uh ... Not everyone in the USA has the "my way or the highway"
attitude, despite what your popular press has to say (apparently).
: If you don't like the way I post, then don't read my post.

But they're so entertaining...

alt.html General Information

Not technically a charter I suppose, but the commonly accepted guidelines to
the group.
If it says that I can't top post then I wont.

"Bottom posting and trimming superfluous text is the preferred method of
replying to posts in alt.html. People who continually top-post may be
ignored by the regulars of the newsgroup who are the most likely to answer
your questions quickly and accurately."

Nige

OK...

Your "guidelines" specifically state that bottom posting is the preferred
method in this NG.
I will honor the NG's wishes but please don't flame me if I forget.

Like I said before Nige, I wasn't mad at you for posting that link. I
appreciate you taking the time to answer my original question and also for
pointing out to me that I was top posting. You were nothing but courteous
throughout the whole thread, more than I can say for most.

It just made me mad that everyone started in on me for having an opinion,
just as each and every one of you have.

If I was top posting just to be an ass, that would be one thing, but I do
have a reason for top posting, and I still prefer top posting.

Sorry ya'll can't see my reasoning.

Chuck
