Nobody get their undies in a wad, but why don't you guys trim the superfluous text from your replies. The messages just get bigger and bigger.

Nyah! You can't make me. So there!

Top posting is for fools and losers

Beacuse we read from top to bottom, also its been the standard for many years, well before MS got into the market.
Most of us are able to know what the message is in reply too. Should we forget or need to clarify, then you can look below at the original question. I guess it would be better if the responder snipped most of the extra text from the reply, but having to go through 4 or 5 screens to get to the answer is a huge waste of time.
Standards change, when more people are top posting than bottom posting, then it will become the de facto standard, no matter what the purists may say.

I can accept your argument. My main challenge was why you would say, "Top posting is for fools and losers". I don't think there are many of these participating in the NG. Allan
Considering the amount of garbage in this newsgroup, I hardly that it makes much difference whether one top or bottom posts.
Lets see McGinn decode that one!
Mike, Frank, the list goes on...
Speak for yourself.
I am with you too on this one ;-)
