Re: [libreoffice-users] Top Posting... Can we have an LO Mailing List Guidelines Page?

Hi :)
Really?  Personal insults?  Here??

Over the past few months there has been a steadily increasing amount of top-posting.  It is not 
just one or 2 people.  Outside of LibreOffice and OpenSource everyone else uses top-post almost 
exclusively.  Smart phones make it difficult to post any other way.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I get so tired of this totally lame and purposefully ignorant excuse.

You only have to scroll if the person who is replying *blindly* quotes the *entire* *message*, 
rather than - as *all* top/inline posting advocates suggest - trimming the quoted text to only what 
is relevant to provide context to your reply.

You and Tom Davies simply ignore that - so what does that make you? Disingenuous (aka liar)? A 
moron (someone who cannot wrap their brain around a simple truth) Both?
