And why is that so? Because the whole previous content is quoted instead of stripping to the part which is needed to understand the new contribution. You provide the best example for this with your mail. Why do you even quote Angelo's reply to Paul's posting along with a list signature and Phil's signature? > I can't see the reasoning of having to go to the bottom of a newsgroup > posting or email that you are already following to continue reading, if you > aren't up on the posting / email and you are interested enough in the > subject then you'll put the effort into reading it all from the bottom. > Instead of wasting everyones time forcing them to scroll to the bottom and > then replying my vote is to top post. I don't know whether you are from a culture where people read from bottom to top. Are your newspapers in that way? I think I will just keep my mouth in future and will not reply any more to such top + bottom + inner mixed postings. Probably the only reasonable reaction.
