OT: posting (Was: Re: Curves)

[Forrest Corbett]

I normally top-post because I don't like to scroll for an hour to get  
to the message. Email has quoting levels, and that's what should be  
used to show the hierarchy. If someone wants background to a message,  
they can scroll down. On a list such as this, chances are they've  
already read the background.

That said, the admins on this list bottom-post. Most people on this  
list are also really good at replying to specific comments and not  
whole messages. That negates the scrolling issues. So, on this list,  
I bottom-post.

What bugs me more than posting styles is when people reply to a  
message then completely change a subject and body to make a new and  
unrelated message. Thus making the new message part of the same  
thread. Mail.app can sort messages via threading, and doing the  
aforementioned messes up that whole sorting method.
