your mindless, dogmatic insistence that there never be any top-posted text whatsoever.
I asked OP politely. Show my chastising please.
You wrote:
Do not toppost again please, it's a pita to keep threads orderly that way.
In my book, that's a chastisement.
We use different books. That's ok.
And I still don't see what this has to do with keeping threads orderly. That's handled by the In-Reply-To and References headers.
An ordely thread is also one where I don't have to ask myself what (part of a quote) topposters are replying to.
And it's my _using_ my mind that makes me decide *not* to toppost.
Then leave it at that and allow others to do the same, even if they come to a different conclusion, OK?
Um, no. I still have a problem with inconsiderate TOFU, no matter what you think of that. When it happens on a thread I'm not involved in: no problem, but when somenone I try to help does it, It becomes my problem, and so it also becomes the problem of the someone who tries to seek help. Sorry Randalf, agreeing to disagree is the best we can do I'm afraid. Theo -- Theo v.
