etiquette - replies, top posting, long threads etc.


Just as annoying as top-posting is just scrolling down to the bottom of a 200 line article to see the next poster add a single sentence. Now that I think of it, it is MORE annoying, since a top poster will at least give me what I came for up front.

When replying, please DELETE the cascade of posts & replies in the article and just leave the statements that you are replying to.
