more near to the top more near to now, and the part much important is
in the top so i not have not scroll all text

If you learned to snip unnecessary context, there would be almost no text to
scroll.

But if ordinary common sense doesn't persuade you, let's try enlightened
self-interest. When you need help from people in this channel, would you
rather have the help of the bright people or the stupid people? The bright
people like to read stuff the right way up, and they like to see just
enough context to make sense, not pageloads of junk. And when a subscriber
writes upside down over and over and over again, many of the bright people
get sick and tired of it, and just ignore articles from that subscriber.

Top-posting is not a good strategy for those who need Usenet as a learning
resource.

Have you tried the first link from your signature,
http://www.geocities.com/nnqweb/ ? Do try it and count
number of additional clicks needed to get to the actual
stuff and how many advertisements you get on the way there.

Not for a long time. I'll check, and possibly remove it.

Just tried it and no great problem. The linked page has a
"suppress ads" button, and I have many ads avoided through a hosts
file, so my experience may not be typical. I revised that sig to
avoid the redirection step.

Well, here's my trip to the destination:
http://munt.mine.nu:8080/files/ss/

Now I understand, I should have clicked "Next Page" button hidden
in the bottom of the first page instead of "selecting a mirror"
as it asked me. Though in this case I get popup windows while the
first way is popup-less but longer. Anyway, point was: if a person
gets *that* as a response "why not top-post, i like it", then he
probably thinks "Is this junk supposed to mean anything?" instead
of "Oops, my bad, learning this valuable stuff right away to become
a great citizen of the world!"
And then you wonder why people don't want to be cool and why they
ignore Some informative links.

Happy New Year anyway, only five hours left!

Might be a good idea. The advertisements load quickly but, in Konqueror at
least, the rest of the page remains blank, the wheel keeps turning, and
Nothing Happens (tm). I have no idea what's *supposed* to be on the page,
but all I *see* is whitespace and advertisements.

So - on to Galeon, and this time I see the following:

Here is the revised sig and link. Now how does it play? I am
using firefox 2.0 with popups disabled and the aforesaid hosts
file. Things are happy here using either 'nextpage' or selecting
various mirrors.
