[Klug-general] top-posting

[Adam Buckland]

I cited them because they are large throughput lists of technical people
not because they are Microsoft lists. I could cite many other lists none
of whom use bottom posting.

I am however on a number of Microsoft lists as I used to work for them
and before them ICL and before them IBM.

As an aside and good for techie quizes, remember that Microsoft used to
have the most popular version of Unix in the world.

PS I am sorry that I worked for ICL, it was a blot on my CV!

PPS At the end of the day, you don't like top posting, I and most of the
rest of the universe appear top prefer it to having to scroll down every
message.

And if you run stats on those lists you will find the main user agent is
probably outlook. You have cited three mailing lists for MICROSOFT
products. Hardly good examples.

I am on a number of lists, including - xen-users, arm-linux,
project-wombat (google it:p), linuxbierwanderung, and many others. ALL
of them have a policy of no top posting.
