[Asterisk-Users] Re: Top posting

[Jay Milk]

Sorry Paul, looks like the little troll spewed his venom again?  His
posts have been getting dev/null'ed by my server for a couple of months
-- for quite obvious reasons.

Kid Walsh's post should be all the evidence we need to show that WHAT
you write is much more important than how you format it.  Bottom-Post,
Top-Post or Inline -- if THAT is what he has to write, he's proved
himself to be an arrogant prick.

If you're reading this, you clearly prefer bottom-posting.  Sorry you
had to scroll all the way down here.
