I personally HATE when I need to scroll down to see the respond. I actually ignore the thread, and go to next one.
You top-post and full-quote-under. Haven't lost the windoz mentality.
You apparently haven't understood what the comments (immediately aboove) are about.
As for "picky", it's about social manners and what is acceptable to a particular group. If you really can't put up with the way most of us do things in this group, don't use the list.
If you want to remain, please conform to what the list expects, that's all. Here here Terence!
Just because it is Finnish, it is entitled to change the world like Linus. Jaska I also used the top posting method and while I was used to it it soon became a nuisance. A nuisance because everybody else was bottom posting and I had to scroll down to read their replies. since I was at the bottom reading the post I changed my posting to bottom posting. It has turned out to be far better as I can now see everyone' replies before giving my 2c's worth. Following what Terence said, there is a saying that says 'When in Rome, do as Romans do.' and whilst it may be different to the way you normally feel like it is the way of us Romans/list dwellers therefore comply or leave. -- The Little Helper ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Licenced ex-Windows user (apart from Quicken) Registered Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.0 Professional with KDE 3.1 ========================================================================
