I just bought an ebook 5 minutes ago: Bargain: (Kindle) Norse Mythology : A Guide to Gods, Heroes, Rituals, & Beliefs $1.99. But if it's a book I already own in dt form, it doesn't count, right? I'm just, umm.... umm.... format shifting...
Only if you format shifted yourself instead of paying someone else to do it.

At least I don't have to be so anal as to comment on a post around 170 comments prior to your response... as I said then, I really hoped that you'd stop going on and on about this... did YOU read where I said I could care less... and for some people bottom posting is equally a pain... I am interested in a current post and only interested in a prior comment if I can't remember the context so I don't usually even read the quote, it's just a ref if needed...

It means having to shift back and forth multiple times when doing it correctly is very easy to read.

Your top post gets read sort of until the reader sees the quote. Then they have to shift to read the quote and then shift back to read your post. So that means a lot of needless eye shifting going on. That is not good for some who have reading trouble.

Shut.

Lucifer's PENGUIN????

This changes everything.

Jon, if you're planning to use the Dark Powers to defeat top-posting, you should know that it will not work, not until you master the multi-quoting. I don't think you're ready to come over to the Dark Side just yet.

(But that is an awfully cute outfit.)

What we really need is proper quoting where quotes get quoted. This is something that was disabled and needs to be enabled. Once we get proper quoting, then mutli-quote will be useful. For now, it's not useful. You have different messages you are replying to and someone wants to then reply, you get a bit of a mess when the quotes are missing. It doesn't work well.

Let's get Alex to enable proper quoting and I'll multi-quote more. OK?

That sentence hurts my brain.

How many quotes would a demon quote if a demon could quote quotes?

Don't give me that look. You already knew I was nuts.

Okay, and I'm being serious this time - this now-defunct proper quoting was obviously before my time so I'm not familiar with what you are referring to. Are you talking about nested quotes? Like:

I'm saying this to
Quote:
You who said this after that
Quote:
guy said something else
If so, I can see why that would sometimes be useful. Maybe. If that's not what you mean, then I have no idea.

No, you're only trying to derail every single person in group who is trying to resist buying books. That's waaaaaay more evil than derailing a thread. Hm?

Yeah! We keep the industry alive. In times of a bad economy it is our duty to spend whenever we can!
