[T3] Intermittent hesitation/stall.?

[Dave Hall]

Bottom posting works OK when you don't mind scrolling down through the story
so far before you get to the next chapter.   When I read a book, I generally
start from where I finished reading previously - that's why someone came up
with the idea of a bookmark.  I don't go to the beginning each time, unless
I've forgotten what the story was about.
I guess if I couldn't remember what the thread was about it would be
different, but I generally can.

That's why I top post.  It saves trying to find the bookmark each time!

I hesitate to designate one particular format the correct one, simply
because we'll never all manage to agree. But I found your system readable
and it worked. It avoided excess quoted material, and it got the answer (or
comment) to follow the question (or statement.) There ought to be a way to
do this without copying and pasting. In general, I think all you have to do
is learn how to highlight and use the carriage return and delete keys, and
how to put your cursor where YOU want to start your message.

The best illustration for this problem that I've ever seen was in someone's
sig on one of the Bicycle newsgroups. It went something like this:


Answer: 
Because it reverses the normal order between question and answer.

Question:
Why is top posting bad?
