Hi all,

"What's in a name?" WS I'm calling it bottom posting because it
comes at the bottom of the quoted material. I have a problem with
this kind of posting, especially, as happened in one post, when the
poster starts his own post on the same line as the original post.
It's really aggravating!
It would help immensely if Rob could at least do us the courtesy of
typing a few stars or number signs or something so we
*know* when his post starts! Or, at the very least, start the new
post on a separate line. Formatting! Formatting! No wonder sighted
people jump up and down and scream at us blind because we don't
understand formatting.
In
this case, the formatting is crucial.

Shoot, guys, you asked me to quote previous posts in my own email, and
I'm trying hard to comply with your polite request. It would be very
nice if others could do the same thing.

if you just down arrow two or three times and let a bit read of the

find the new message. It isn't bottom posting. it is posting a
message below two or three lines of a previous message being
responded to. The quoted material seldom exceeds three lines.

Ok, sounds like more work for the person responding, as they will need to
select the portion of the response they'd like to comment too, or am I not

Well he does he says so and so wrote and ten his reply is right below
the what so and so wrote. I myself find this very helpful this way I
know exactly who and what he is responding to. So I myself would
like him to continue to do this. In fact I wish others would do this.
I don't myself do this but I should as it makes things much more clear!

Hi all,

"What's in a name?" WS I'm calling it bottom posting because it
comes at the bottom of the quoted material. I have a problem with
this kind of posting, especially, as happened in one post, when the
poster starts his own post on the same line as the original post.
It's really aggravating!
It would help immensely if Rob could at least do us the courtesy of
typing a few stars or number signs or something so we
*know* when his post starts! Or, at the very least, start the new
post on a separate line. Formatting! Formatting! No wonder sighted
people jump up and down and scream at us blind because we don't
understand formatting.
In
this case, the formatting is crucial.

Shoot, guys, you asked me to quote previous posts in my own email,
and I'm trying hard to comply with your polite request. It would be
very nice if others could do the same thing.

if you just down arrow two or three times and let a bit read of the
second and third lines, if there is a third line, you will quickly
find the new message. It isn't bottom posting. it is posting a
message below two or three lines of a previous message being
responded to. The quoted material seldom exceeds three lines.

There is not going to be a resolution to this, but this beast belongs to
Carlos so whatever he says, goes.

Just wait until someone writes an entire book and Rob responds lol.

Ok, sounds like more work for the person responding, as they will need to
select the portion of the response they'd like to comment too, or am I not
understanding you.

Again, I don't care. I'm just waiting for my 7th grader to get here for
class to begin.

The whole point of quoting is to only reference the text in the message that
is most relevant to your reply, not the entire message.

I think the poster might satisfy others by placing a blank line between the
original post and his input. As is, with the amount of messages one must
read on a daily basis, its lots of work for the reader to have to sort out
what information came first. Also, deleting of the less than greater than
signs can help. Once a reader comes across the first couple of less than
greater than signs, he or she will immediately conclude it is a top posted
message and immediately delete it. This means the poster has just wasted his
or her time composing the message since the message will be immediately
deleted.

Those who do not include the original message below their response are
likely wasting their time too since a single message does not include any
context whatsoever, so it appears as though she is posting something totally
random and their message is subsequently deleted.

I also am not a fan of bottom posting, and if a message arrives that has it
I just delete it.
Now if this message has information that maybe of interest to me I guess it
is bad luck for me for not reading it.
Then again if I could of helped that person it is again bad luck to them for
bottom posting it.

(For the extremely little value that it's worth), I agree. I too, am a
person who does not read bottom posted posts.
