RIP, ROFB

I don't understand the problem with top posting.
Several groups I use quite a lot for business all top post,
and I prefer it. If there's a stack of conversation on a message, a reader
doesn't need to scroll down to see a bottom post, and if you are reading a
number of postings in a thread, you don't need to
scroll down past the same stuff over and over.

Just wondering

bass-ackwards.
as should be evident by this post top-posting is
that has gone by the wayside here in ROFB. Besides,
in context, but alas that's another Usenet convention
to include only the text necessary to put the reply
saves. It would help if people would trim their posts
see what on earth the poster is referring to than it
the case top-posting causes more scrolling down to
a thread, but on a Usenet newsgroup where that's not
list is assumed to have read every previous email in
Top-posting is OK for email when everyone on the email

Some people just want to be ****y bill... do what makes you feel good.
Outlook Express defaults to the top of the message, so that's why I top
post.

I think there's an echo in here....

Btw, caught an 18" smalley near st. louis yesterday.
Streams running high but clear.
Not many nice days left.

Top-posting has killed this newsgroup. If not for top-posting
all members of the professional bass tour would not only post
here daily with tips and anecdotes about the pro tour, they
would also give away marketing freebies like rods, reels,
trolling motors, outboards and big honkin' red metal flake
bass boats. But people like you insist on top-posting.

Don't blame me.

Bill,
Actually bottom posting must be accompanied with the proper snipping
of verbiage that is un-necessary. Just quoting, snipping and the main
topic along bottom posting is the best way to keep everyone
understanding who said what.

I have been known to top post in this group when it is short and to
the point.

It's the top-posting.

The convention in those Usenet newsgroups that are active, vital
and full of activity is the Usenet standard of putting the reply
below the text you're replying to, like I'm doing here.

Too many people in this newsgroup are top-posters and that'll
kill a newsgroup faster than a 6-4-3 kills a big inning.

Bite me Ken. :}

Yeah, yeah. I'm feeling chipper today. I had a kidney biopsy
on Monday and got the results back yesterday. Bottom line:
I've got *at least* one more fishing season in me, assuming
I don't get run over by a bus. ;-) I didn't get the best news
possible, but I sure didn't get the worst either. Yesterday
I was still a little bummed, but today I feel relieved enough
to have a little fun with my friends in ROFB.

And thank you for not top posting. ;-)
