Hmmm. Sexist are we? There are a lot of girls doing this as well. Many of
them would rip your balls off for that opening.
A lot of people prefer top posting as it alows to read the reply without
scrolling down long thread.
A lot of newbies are fuckwits as well. Top posting is like walking into a
conversation and shouting an answer before anybody has had a chance to form
a question.
I, however, do not try to impose my preferences on you.
Yes you do. You do it by continuing to top post.
Symmetrically, why
should you? If you do not like my top posting - just don't read and don't
reply.
OK. Fine. And you will rapidly find that everybody who knows anything in
this newsgroup will killfile you. Then what happens the next time you
*require* an answer to one of your questions and *insist* we toppost that
answer? You will remain in the dark.
Insult the regulars: be ignored by them; get answers by the uninformed. Bad
answers.
(There are plenty of other newbies here who from time to time answer
questions. Sometimes they are wrong. They get corrected by those who do
know. However if the thread has been started by some smartarse like you then
those who know will simply ignore it. To your and the newbies cost).
Tolerance and consideration
Oh do **** off with this tolerance stuff. The real world does not work that
way. It's every girl for himself [sic].
- this is the main points of Neticette.
Ah, you must have not read the Netiquette (correct spelling this time)
wherein you are required to respect the posting conventions of the group to
which you are posting, and are required to lurk for a week or so before
barging in with an attitude that would get you arrested on the street, or at
least punched out
The three of you sent here three messages which has nothing to do with
either my question or the purpose of this NG. Who is clogging?
You are clogging by being such an arsehole!
Usenet, especially in that alt.* arena is a discussion. If you get an actual
answer to your question then that is serendipitous.
<snip>
Why did you not snip all of the rest of the stuff that had no relevance to
your particular post? Wait. I know. You know nothing about Netiquette.
I see you are making a fool of yourself in other groups as well, like
comp.lang.php. Careful, those guys over at c.l.* will eat your arse for
breakfast
