[Tfug] top/bottom and middle posting

[keith smith]

Something to consider - I use Yahoo webmail.  It is difficult to post to the bottom - take a look I added a comment on the bottom.

I am not a stickler for top or bottom posting but when there is a mix it makes
posts almost impossible to follow. Netiquette dictates fairly bluntly that
bottom posting is how one should reply to a post. While I recognize that almost
every windows email program in the world top posts, it is not all that tough to
scroll to the bottom to type in a response. This is a local group so we may have
our own conventions but we really ought to have some consistent means of doing
this. I vote for bottom posting because I think the Netiquette folks are right
on this one. What do you all think?

BTW: I have seen this topic boil into a raging flame war. I really do not want
that to happen here. It is not dogma it is convention.

-- Sometimes I wonder.  Were our faith able to stand upright and look around,
would it be looking down at the mustard seed or standing in awe of the height
and breadth of it.

I added this comment here to demonstrate bottom posting with Yahoo webmail.
