[asterisk-users] Top Posting

[Andrew Thomas]

Why do I top post?  Simple.  I read every message in the thread - and if
there are 10 messages (for example) in that thread - then why should I
have to read them all over again on the last one?

Top posting is here - to stay!

Stop being so anal and 'retro'.  Bottom posting belongs in forums - top
post belongs in e-mail lists.

There - said it!

As for my sig/disclaimer - how about 10 copies of it before you get a
reply?  That's what bottom posting would have done for you!

Anyway "Digium, Inc. | Software Developer" means you should be
developing software - not replying to inane posts like mine :P

Have a nice day!

Clearly not you, so why both even replying?  At worst case it is just
redundant information for people, best case somebody reads the email
thread at starts bottom posting.  I suggest taking a moment and
re-reading the thread.

Additionally, do you really need a 17 line[1] signature?
