snip

That is because people do not know how to snip the message they are
replying to.

Excuse me, but it's a personal preference (as well as a religious war in
USENET groups). See http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html where they cite
that most people (including me, btw) prefer bottom posting. (I think one
reads top down, usually, which IMO makes top postings unintelligible since I
need to scroll down to get the thread, then scroll up to read top posts.)

I've always argued that the first response to a posting should set the
style. If it's a bottom post, then continue. If top, continue that
style. What drives me crazy is the ones where people ignore it and top
or bottom post everything. Try following *that* thread.... :-(

Hi Hank! Doesn't matter that much to me whichever way the thread goes....as
I said, it's a religious war (I probably could have just as easily found a
website bestowing the virtues of top posting!). It's just not as clear cut
as 'do it my way'. Whatever floats your boat - I wouldn't preach either way
"makes USENET better' and certainly wouldn't take someone else to task for
going the (more popular) other way.

Enuf on THIS OT subject for me.
