[NJARC] Trim your posts, Please

[Mike Feher]

I never get posts in digest form and never have and I am on at least 20
reflectors. After the thread is in motion I do trim it, not because there
are not enough bits on the web, but, it is because it is easier to read for
anyone interested. I also always reply on top of the previous post, in fact,
sometimes I do not even bother going to the bottom of previous posts to read
the reply. Some computer geeks seem to think bottom posting is the way to go
as that is the way it was 25 years ago when there was hardly anyone on here.
I am all for trimming posts, but none for the reasons Rob mentioned.

A. Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion.
 
Q. And why is "top posting" also considered bad form?
 
Cheers, Grumpy Jr.
