[asterisk-users] top posting again [was: Re: CDR Design]

[Danny Nicholas]

Thanks to all of you "toppers"  we can now plan on any message with "top" or
"post" being treated as spam.  Some of us actually read these threads to
learn, not just to hear ourselves "talk".  If you really have to be "top"
somewhere, go to FoxSports.

Well, it seems this opened one large can of worms.

Anyway, just to repeat my previous plea - and to echo David's request - can
we please stop all this 'top post' rubbish and move on with our lives?

Thanks and Merry Christmas
Andy

If I notice that someone has started a bottom post, I will follow. But,
if I am the first, I will top post.

When I look at a new email, I don't like to scroll to the bottom to find
out what is new.

If you know of a mail reader which will automatically scroll to the top
of the latest info, let me know. If there is a technological fix,
perhaps these threads will die down.
