Try making that point at a party. Or, better yet, make that point with a group of Australians.

Reporting of Georgonics is widespread.
You're welcome to all of them, I have other interests.
Spanky, is that you pretending to be Nebenzahl?

I do. That's no excuse for authors to not take into account factors such as propagation, filters or attention span constraints on the part of the reader.
That kind of stupid crap is just as bad as top posting for mostly the same reasons. Conversational quoting is the method I'm advocating.

That's why Good Qouting Practice is not only about top or bottom posting but also about only qouting what is needed and deleting the rest. This is also covered by
This will probably come as a shock to you as an Australian, but in New Zealand the sheep tend to live where people and cows don't. I haven't seen a sheep in decades.

They do have those inflatable ones; saw one in a movie years ago, maybe it was Little Shop of Horrors, but not sure.

Probably "Whoops,Apocalypse"..????
Never saw that one; did see "Pork Lips Now", but it wasn't in that.
THey say you can get crotchless panties for sheep at Frederics of Auckland and Frederics of Darwin.
Unless you never received the previous message, it had an unusually short expiration or was cancelled. You keep forgetting propagation isn't a gaurantee, even in 2007.

Nonsense. Here in Australia, it's quite normal to have 5 or 6 people in a group all speaking at one time. No kidding. It has everything to do with my point.
Besides, post where you wish. That's all I'm stating. Stop being an idiot trying to define who can do what. You have no rights here as a NetKop. Take your badge elsewhere and make demands.

That's not just an Australian thing, and yet people at the party still are not speaking in random order, just several distinct threads.
Stop being so retarded as to think that's what's going on. Quit getting butt-sore that you were called out for not making sense.
They post on top because they can. And because you can't stop them. All your whining and complaining make no difference except to illustrate that you are willing to continue posting off topic ad nauseam simply because you are a NetKop on a mission.

You have no idea about Aussies. Trust me on this one.
Why not spend more time discussing railroading or modeling instead of trying to impose your warped standards of how to use a newsgroup?
Some people top post.
Some people middle post
Some people bottom post.
They can post any way they wish. When you complain about it, others do this: See the message at the start of this post.
