INFLAMMATORY Breast Cancer

Yes - I prefer top-posting anyway! It`s not set in stone. It`s also far better to killfile someone if that`s what you want, rather than announce the fact! What I find far more annoying than top-posting is the lack of editing. I`m sure that not are many of us are exactly trembling in our shoes at the thought of bringing down the wrath of folk such as MargW on our heads - in fact I suspect that everyone would be profoundly UNimpressed! ;-). Was that a "Plonk" I heard (or some such childish expression). Whoop-de-doo!

Pat:

As I said in my message, r.c.t.n. doesn't worry a lot about top postings. I simply made a point that in some newsgroups it is considered bad manners, and gave the reason. I also said that I don't speak for everyone, although from the responses so far, I seem to have at least captured the feelings of a large part of the group.

I top post in reply to e-mails since I want to answer the e-mailer's question, and they know what they've asked. In a newsgroup where there are hundreds of posters, it's often difficult to figure out what point a poster is replying to if they top post. It's easier to read, and understand if you put your reply at the bottom, and/or interleave it with the original message.

I normally don't announce a kill-file, I simply do it. In this case, I wanted the poster (Betty C.) to understand why. No wrath, just a reason.

You don't have to be impressed with me, any more than I have to be impressed with you.
