If you would have trimmed it down to my email only, it would have been pretty evident you replied to me, instead of quoting both. (even if you did bottom-post) Even if I am arrogant enough to believe my words are more important because I put them before, you can see how that has an effect :) I could care less if you even side-posted, considering it's just in relation to the last post. As long as you don't have to scroll down eight pages to read the content, it's fine. --Dan On 10/27/05, Craig White wrote: > sure but now you gotta figure out who I am replying to. > > I am presuming that you aren't arrogant enough to believe that since you > top posted a reply, that I am therefore obligated by your act to > similarly top post...invocation of that rule would be inadmissible since > I left off at the bottom and if you wanted to expound or reply, it would > necessarily have to follow my comments - unless of course, your comments > had nothing to do with mine, in which case, you should start a new > thread. > > There is an arrogance that someone's comments in reply to anothers' > comments are self-important if they come before the context - there's no > getting around that. > > Then there's the issue that top posters don't generally trim. -- To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
