Has top posting been accepted as proper in this mailing list ?? there seems to be some kind of a surge in the number of top posted messages in this group.
While this might be a issue for debait, I think generaly a quick comment is good at the top because then people don't have to scroll the entire message just to see "I agree but just that this might not work in some situations ".
May be many of us now a days are too busy to write or scroll long messages. For example I am not top posting to this message because what ever I am writing is not a "short quick comment ". So I think it depends. Again, this is my personal view and since there are a few who top post quick comments, I believe they might be having a similar thinking.
have you tried replying to mails from mobiles ? Doing a scroll down and inserting the reply is not feasible. Also in many of the mobile email software, the reader is not able to figure what is being inserted by the poster.
happy hacking. Krishnakant.
