a majority of the lists I am on (about 100 in all) tend to top post or trim and respond to each point. granted, a lot of these lists are blind related, but some also deal with ham radio and various other topics of interest. I never said it was evil, just extremely frustrating.
btw, see how my posts are trimmed to get rid of all but the last post? this has at least 2 advantages:
1. message length is short
2. the salient point I am responding to is preserved.

If everyone else is posting a certain way consistently, why suddenly say they're wrong and demand posting the opposite way? I mean, what is right and wrong with the difference between top and bottom posting as if one is evil and the other good? In this case, majority rules. Trying to make people do something different on one list than on all the other lists is just ridiculous and disingenuous.
