[asterisk-users] {top|bottom|interleaved} posting, once again

[Erik de Wild: Tripple-o]

Funny that a small matter like top | bottom | interleaved posting can  
lead to a situation that is referred to as "a fight" .  I agree with  
Ira that keeping all the original lines in place is very annoying when  
there are more lines then needed to pick up the discussion.  I seem to  
be a top poster by nature, it never crossed my mind that this could be  
part of  "a fight" or be annoying to others . Sometimes I interleave  
but I never post at the bottom. Lets take our bits of freedom and  
consider how to post (not, top, bottom or interleave) as part of our  
personal style of communicating ;-)
