[Asterisk-Users] Re: Top posting

[Paul Fielding]

Whatever.  I find it frankly more annoying to have people bottom post.  I 
use Outlook Express for my mail (as do millions of others), and the way OE 
formats it's mail lends itself to top posting.    When you bottom post, I 
need to scroll way down the message to see your response, while when you top 
post I can see the response right away.   If I want to see the source 
message *then* I'll scroll down, but chances are I've already been reading 
the thread so this isn't necessary.

Professional?  That's a matter of opinion, I don't think it's any less 
professional to top post, it's purely a question of what's convenient for 
different readers.

Besides, as has already been commented on before, people should just be 
happy that everyone's willing to spend their time offering their advice on 
this forum rather than being concerned about how their message is 
formatted...

just my 2 cents...
