re top-posting
Happy now? I can see your point, and that of the other poster, and I think
if I was adding multiple comments inside a thread I might post differently.
In fact I think about it so little I couldn't honestly say I never do one
thing, or always do another, when posting. Having contributed to forums for
many years now I can say that you are the first two people who have taken
the time to comment.

I find that very hard to believe. But then personally I've given up
trying to persuade people to post properly, I just ignore them instead
or killfile them if they're especially prolific.

It's obviously less important, to everyone else at
least, than you might think.

"Everyone else" being who exactly? How do you know how many people have
ever ignored your posts simply because they CBA to read them upside down?
