The problem is that many people aren't posting to a.b from a
newsreader nowadays. Many don't even know what usenet is and would
certainly not be aware of top/bottom posting.

He is using OE.

It doesn't help that one of the most common newsreader (OE) basically
sets users up for top-posting.

FWIW, I agree that "bottom-posting" (eeww) is preferable to
top-posting, but I've given up on complaining about people that do it.
In much the same way, I've given up btiching about bicycle red-light
runners: fcuk 'em. If they want to become a hood ornament, that's
their business... they think its safe and has no effect on anyone
else, what is the chance that they'll listen to me?

If nobody says anything then how will the children learn?

Slumming it in D-grade again?
keep that up and you'll get the dirty looks and mutterings as the higher
grade passes you (saw this happen to a dude at Kew ealrier in the year,
but me being so green didnt realise what all the rhubarb was about till
someone pointed it out to me later)


Slumming it? I've only had one race! I honestly (no, really) didn't kno
what sort of speeds the different grades run. I'll give C-grade a g
tomorrow and see what happens..
