I've been on-line when the dial-up speed was 300 baud. I've been on the very first BBS. So I've been online longer then most and I can say that we used to call people who top posted AOLers or weenies. And when the net became public, there were indeed a lot of arguments on how to post and that top posting was wrong. Top posting is still wrong.
elcreative, I'm sorry nobody every showed you how to properly reply to messages on a BBS, forum, & email. But top posting isn't conducive to want to read what you write. And if this forum had proper quoting, then your top posting would be even worse. So please do us a favor and stop top posting. I remember when the best way to get someone to stop top posting was to ignore that person's posts. Don't make us do that to you.
