Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet?

Since I clearly do both you're wrong yet again. In fact, I've been an IT
professional for over twenty years.

and you've certainly proven that point in this entire thread... I've been
an IT pro for 11 years, and never launched endless tirades about how people
choose to use their computers... Believe it or not, people do have a
choice, it's part of the democratic society in which we reside...

Perhaps there is a nation elsewhere, that will accomodate your anti-top
posting views, and pass a law forbidding it??

You did just that here. I was minding my own business when you chose to
start your nonsense.

Believe it or not,

Yes, you can choose to show the readers of this news group the respect and
consideration they deserve or you can choose to top post. You cannot choose
both. Those options are mutually exclusive.

anti-top posting views, and pass a law forbidding it??

It's already against Usenet etiquette. The question is maybe there's a
place for you newbies to practice your posting perversions on each other.

Now you'd really better hope and pray we never meet...

I can take opinion, and tirade with the best of them, but you've just
overstepped the mark by making it personal, idiot.

Grow up, develop some tolerance, or get the hell off the Internet. You are
what is known in Newsgroups as a TROLL.

Personally, I think you're a germ.

You didn't start this. It ws that dickhead Andrew Morris. If there's any
justice in the world he'll have killed himself by now so the rest of us
can
get on with life.

No, I'm not. You have no idea what a troll is just like you have no idea
what Usenet etiquette is.

Who gives a **** what you think?

Ah, no, you began it, with your statement "And so is top-posting"

Well, unfortunately, I'm not the individual, who has been filling the
newsgroup with unrelated nonsense. This newsgroup is about cycling, not
newsgroup etiquette. As for respect, I'd much appreciate it, if of the 300
thread items I downloaded this evening, over 100 hadn't been you bitching
about whether it is right or wrong to top post. Where is YOUR respect for
the other users of this forum? You have none, do you? You're shameless,
you've an opinion you're only too willing to express, you're abusive, and
you know what? You can't even voice your opinion as yourself, you have to
make all your childish noise, from behind a pseudonym. Top posting and
respect are not mutually exclusive. Offtopic nonsense, and respect, yes.

Yes, and last time I checked, etiquette is not the same as law, it is a
guideline.

Perhaps, if this is such an issue to you, you should petition to start
aus.bicycle.moderated, where you can be the moderator, and you can happily
post yourself messages telling yourself that top posting is wrong. You'll
be missed for a second or two.

This is entirely off topic for aus.bicycle. Take your gripes to one of the
alt.flame newsgroups. I'm sure you can find one where you can have hours of
mindless entertainment telling people that top posting is wrong over
there...

So don't top-post and you won't get called on it.

You chose to make an issue of the fact that not only had you breached news
group etiquette but you were proud of your selfishness and planned on doing
it in future. That makes it a relevant topic to this group because top
posting has never been accepted here and hopefully never will.

I always properly format my posts. Whether you like what I write or loathe

Strawman. Whether or not I use my name has nothing whatsoever to do with
the rights or wrongs of the case.

Top posting and respect are
not mutually exclusive. Offtopic nonsense, and respect, yes.

Top-posting and respect for others are absolutely mutually exclusive. The
considerate author always puts the relevant cited material before the
response.

anti-top posting views, and pass a law forbidding it??

It's stronger than just a guideline. It's what makes the whole Usenet
experience workable. When you top post you are imposing on every reader.
It's rude, it's selfish and it's completely unnecessary.

This is entirely off topic for aus.bicycle.

As long as selfish, stupid ****s try to top post in this group it is
relevant to this group.
