Why do you say "not email"? It annoys me when people top post in email aswell.
Email discussions often end with a few topics within them,
then top posting just gets confusing.

'Email' as in private email when the communicators know what went before
seems to be the convention.
This isn't private email and, since the discussion can twist and turn in
time and readers can join the thread at any time, reducing the confusion
by in-line or bottom posting is a good thing.
[/quote:5edd2572e6]
No, in email you can end up discussing a few different things, 5 conversations at once. In-line posting is the only way this makes sense.

A New York man was forced to take a day off from work to
appear for a minor traffic summons. He grew increasingly
restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his case to be
heard.
When his name was called late in the afternoon, he stood
before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned for
the next day and he would have to return the next day.
"What for?" he snapped at the judge.
His honor, equally irked by a tedious day and sharp query
roared, "Twenty dollars contempt of court. That's why!"
Then, noticing the man checking his wallet, the judge relented.
"That's all right. You don't have to pay now."
The young man replied, "I'm just seeing if I have enough for two
more words." |

So you support confusion for the sake of "neatness"?

Of course that PHucker supports confusion, though there is no
"neatness" in unlimited line lengths. He basically doesn't care
what his readers have to go through. *He* is more impotent.
---
Interestingly, reading his posts results in no "penalty" but, replying
to them does in that that invokes his unlimited line length message in
the "from" frame.
It's easy to fix by just mousing over to where you want the text to
break and clicking.
After that, the rest of the text shows up properly parsed, but without
the sequence indicator showing up.
It's easy enough to insert and fix up his post, but most of the time
it's "Why bother?"
[/quote:f6e5fbebc3]
Why bother getting a news client that can word wrap when replying? I dunno, ask yourself.

Yesterday scientists in the USA revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones.
To prove their theory they fed 100 men 12 pints of beer and observed that 100% of them started talking nonsense and couldn't drive. |

The way to fix it is to arrange the ordering of the posts from top to

the pattern be followed.

I agree with you that we should all post at the bottom. But I'm not going to take mny time to rearrange someone else's mistake. It's not THAT big a deal.

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, “I would like to buy some cyanide.”The pharmacist asked, “Why in the world do you need cyanide?”
The lady replied, “I need it to poison my husband.”
The pharmacists eyes got big and he exclaimed, “Lord have mercy!
I can’t give you cyanide to kill your husband! That’s against the law!
I’ll lose my license! They’ll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!”
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist’s wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, “Well now. That’s different. You didn’t tell me you had a prescription.” |

You're the cause of the problem, so I'll concede the point and agree
with you.
What _isn't_ irrelevant is the problem itself and the inconvenience it
causes those who wish to reply to your posts.
_Not_ fixing it when, ostensibly, you could with a few key clicks is
raising pig-headedness to a new low and speaks volumes about your
character.

That's not the same thing at all.
Mr. Ford's philosophy mandated that the mistakes he made be fixed as
they were found, in the field, while yours seems to be that your readers
are responsible for finding work-around solutions to your errors.
