Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Bottom Posting vs. Top Posting

[Bruce S. <bw...@ar...>]

This is top AND bottom posted on purpose!  ;-)

Personally I don't care.  I prefer bottom posted slightly over top
posting, but I'm not going to grip about either one on emails to threads
on the DL mailing lists.

I agree.  People can be stubborn on their preferences.

You have the freedom to top or bottom post, as far as I'm concerned.

Friedrich (who strongly prefers bottom posting) also has the freedom to
ignore questions if the posts irritate him.  So, if you want Friedrich's
excellent help on postings, posters _may_ want to reply with a bottom
post format.  Or not, the choice is yours (and his).  ;-)
