Top posting is exactly what you have just done ... post your comment ABOVE which makes it hard to follow the flow of the article.

Those who have read previous emails have no problem following the flow and seeing it repeated ad infinitum/ad nauseum, is just mind numbing.

This archaic nonsense by militant hardliners has got to go. Your reasoning is broken in about eleventy-seven places. But, hey no problem, feel free to ignore the requests of those here who actually have answers to your questions, and in turn be ignored by them. Turning that around, if you propose to say "Fine I'll ignore you and other bottom posters too." Well, the problem there, for you, not for me, is, I probably don't have a single question that you could answer. Actually I have very few questions at all. I can read documentation and I can mine existing works for examples and I can perform experiments and tests and I can even read code. I find that a lot faster and more reliable than asking strangers of unknown skill and insight what to do. I'm mostly here to keep an ear out for common problems to see if certain issues that occasionally come up are just me or my hardware or are a lot of others hitting the same issue, and to provide that same feedback to others, just general discussion, and to answer the occasional question if it's possible and practical and happens to fall within an area where I have particular insight.
Learn the essentials of writing? How about learn the essentials of life? If you want help, and the general consensus among the knowledgeable people you need help from was that you must post in html with pink text on black background, you shut up and do it. Simple as that. I hate top-posting and think it's the most stupid broken practice ever. But several hardware vendors and rack space / colocation hosting facilities and isp's and software vendors support ticket systems require that you top-post when you reply to their emails, because their piece of crap ticketing system parses emails based on that assumption and will ignore your email if it doesn't see any new content above some magic string embedded in the old content. Guess what I do when I have to interact with those people? A) tell them they're stupid and should change B) top-post Theres only 2 choices but I'll give you 3 guesses anyways. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
