Hi :)
No, he didn't. He just showed that he has not read any of the posts yet as his arguments are
already countered in previous posts.
Bullshit. You continually do not show the proper attribution in the posts you reply to. You
have not countered this in any post. This has been mentioned many times but you refuse to
correct your email client behaviour.
Besides it doesn't matter how strong the argument against top-posting might be. The fact is that
it is widely used especially by office workers. Do we want to stop office workers from using
LibreOffice? Alienating them would be a good way to get them to stay with whatever else they
already use.
What office workers do is irrelevant. How would support givers properly interspersing and
trimming their replies keep office workers from using LibreOffice?
How would properly interspersing a reply to their questions alienate them?
Betamax was a better format than VHS but it lost the battle for acceptance and now the argument is irrelevant
anyway. Perhaps it is similar with bottom posting. It might be better but almost no-one in our target
markets use it (note the "almost" there). Most people would rather use forums anyway as mailing
lists are ancient and out-dated.
And that statement is totally irrelevant to the question.
So, do we want to go the route of betamax, ie obscurity, or do we want to get LibreOffice out there
and being used?
How is the request to people giving support to properly intersperse and trim have anything to
do with getting people to use LibreOffice?
