This thread is very operationally interesting to me but I've lost the plot :( http://www.nanog.org/mailinglist/listfaqs/generalfaq.php?qt=convent refers. PS: I know that some devices actually prevent bottom-posting by default. Workarounds are possible and are evident in other recent posts to this list. Additionally, may I suggest you file a bug report with your vendors or switch to a device that you can control properly :)It makes the thread very hard to follow.Why not?Please don't top post!I used to have this available for a 'signature', but, with a few exceptions, it seems to fall on blind eyes these days.<sigh>
I put nearly identical text in response to top-posted messages and, if it was not too difficult, move the top-posted response to the end, before my response. Of late I have started to get responses from people (not even the person who top-posted) saying that I should f*** off and that they would post however they wanted. Very hostile and even threatening. I even manage to bottom post from my iPod. With cut and paste, it's really not hard, but I guess it's just beyond the capacities of some and somehow offensive to others. **Sigh** -- R.
