A: Because it puts elements of discussion in a harder to read order.

Q: Why is top posting considered non-optimal?


(Also, you tend to forget that by adding a little comment at the top
that there's a lot of >>>-nested stuff beneath that you could have
snipped. Not that there was much previous snipping in that thread
anyway.


As someone fairly new to ABP (though I notice a couple of years using
Usenet via Google Groups, mostly on another fan-type forum) I just
thought I'd let you know. Google's interface is godawful for getting
things like this wrong, it seems, as well as doing terrible things to
the tags (the "[M]" for "Meta-Discussion" thing I have up there in the
subject line) that forces us non-Googlers to make allowances.

It's quite possible you don't realise what you're doing, or the
difference from group standard. So I thought I'd expand on the previous
hint that one of our other regulars posted.


Anyway, I'm not in any way an 'authority' on this group, but Hello
anyway. I hope you do like our discussions (we tend to have a number of
them) and feel free to continue contributing anything you consider to be
of value.

when you said
>It's quite possible you don't realise what you're doing
it is quite possible you were right.

Honestly, I'm using groups like I use forums because that's the only
way I know it works. I don't want to install another app for something
my browser can do (nearly, as it seems) as well. I'm sorry if the
output
created by GG is strange or malformed, but this is beyond my
influence.

Bottom line (and to keep up the thread's spirit) : I'll bear
what you said in mind.

BTW: Hello, Len and all
