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

Okay, I just saw this after responding in similar manner shortly. At least someone understands.

I wish my phone doesn't always expect me to use the browser just to comply with demands for bottom 
posts. Otherwise, ... This reply would have been at the bottom with the irrelevant phrases snipped 
off

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?
