and that's *exactly* what's happening here. if you show up, take the time to learn the protocols and follow the lead of others who've been here a while, the regular denizens of this list will bend over backwards to help you out. (i mean, geez, alexander dalloz *alone* could be a major corporation's entire help desk department.)
on the other hand, if you show up with an attitude, the regulars will rip you a new orifice.
i think that pretty much describes your "both directions" thingie, no? :-)

So I guess there's no room for tolerance of other people's preferences? I mean, really - is it *that* hard to follow a thread that is top-posted? Is it *really* worth getting so worked up over? I don't have any problems following threads like that, and it doesn't get me all stirred up. I am curious as to why this is really such a big deal.
