Hi ,
I understand top posting is not acceptable in some communities.Its
perfect in my community..Im coming your way
.
That's fine, but it's not fine in this group, and if you want to
participate with maximum benifit and minimum fuss, then it's wise to
respect local conventions.
Tell me one thing
CBFalconer,is your intention to 'teach' me something,'spread knowledge'
or show superiority of your etiquette??
As far as I can tell, he's just attempting to help newcomers to Usenet
or this group.
If it is the third one I give a damn to your posts.
Your choice, but don't be upset when many regulars start to ignore you.
Cause everyone here is very clearly here with the
intention of 'learning something new' and not show
superiority.
What's superior in a bunch of helpful links?
No.
It's built on the hard work of countless generations, since the dawn of
human beings.
If not you someone else would teach
me with a gentle smile and much polite words,perhaps you might have not
heard of
.Your posting which use the very polite words
:fool,foolish,innate stupidity
express your superior skills is it
?This very clearly explains you simple want to show your superiority
or may be some kind of discrimination??Dont know why you are so
persistant about this?
People can get frustrated when repeated attempts to inform and help are
ignored. I agree, that insulting words needn't be used, but that's
human nature.
Well let me tell you one thing very very clearly Iam here to learn
something new and spread it to my friends who are of my kind.
Your kind? Is your kind different from other people around the world?
Do you feel superior about your kind? What, then, excuses you from
being guilty of the very behaviour you accuse others of?
As long as
the post is friendly and correct neither the author nor myself care
about these things.
Sure, but many other posters might care that your reply was top-posted.
He was just attempting to inform you of the generally accepted form of
posting, atleast in this group. You're of course free to "insist" on
top-posting, but expect far fewer positive responses.
Iam sure he read the reply and simply continued with
his work neglecting your comments because my post serverd his
purpose.
Chuck's post would also serve a useful purpose, if people took the
small amount of time needed to visit some of the links and inform
themselves about good etiquette.
If someone is not able to read the short messages its defnitely
a challenge for them.
Fair enough, but top-posting's damage is directly proportional to the
length of the quoted post and it's accompanying reply. If one doesn't
correct oneself, top-posting could become an incurable habit, rendering
your posts, especially long, involved ones, less readable, and hence
less useful, than they could've been.
I was never told by someone what AFAIK means or
what RTFM means..I had gone through dictionary.com...used google cause
I 'wanted' to understand the post and not simply read it for fun or
showing up my superiority over someone who posts it.
No one is told what these acronyms mean. Their meaning are generally
picked up over time. Anyway what has that got to do with your point?
Iam telling you for
the last time please do not misinterpret kindness as weakness.Iam here
to learn and I am least bothered if you are 'opposite of fool' or not
.Thought of ignoring this but could not stop when you used such
words and still insist on following your way
. I donot intend to
pollute the very spirit of this group.If you have any issues with my
posts don't hesitate to mail me.We can take that up in leisure without
interrupting this groups' activities
.Looking forward for your mail.
IMHO, you're making a big fuss over a trivial incident.
