The fact you do not like answering in natural text order does not excuse you for behaving in an antisocial manner that violates list guidelines and cultural norms here at freebsd-questions. Of course, if you want have mailing lists that are conducive to very quick checking, you should probably choose a mailing list with less technical content. One of the reason top posting is considered harmful on lists like this is that it is not conducive to combining context with response. This approach is better for in-depth discussion; top-posting is better for IM-like responses that do not require any thought. If you prefer thoughtless "discussion", go somewhere that is the norm. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --i7F3eY7HS/tUJxUd Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkzcwoQACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKXHtgCgzBCu9V08vFH08+GGTfhTCXb6 2JoAn1XT+sAFHI+TmfpG9x0ZjgZxCxO1 =VMeD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --i7F3eY7HS/tUJxUd--
