Did not. I replied to the message at the bottom of the thread.

Congratulations, you've now made a fool of yourself in public.
Top posting has nothing to do with where your reply is placed with
respect to other messages. Top posting is when you add your text
above the quoted material in your reply - as you did once again in
what I'm replying to.
When you open a book, do you start at the bottom of the page and
read up? I didn't think so.

OK, cut it out.
Top or bottom posting is a user choice.
No need to flame someone for using either.

Of course there is, especially when the top posting included the spam
because top posters invariably do not snip anything.
You too are saying you're an MVP ? Do you own nowhere.com ?

I don't cross-post to unrelated newsgroups, either.
Do you have any questions or answers about ASP.NET ?

Perhaps Microsoft like you using a domain you don't own - do they know
?
You bottom posters really are a bunch of supercilious, self-righteous
bigots.
Personally, I find bottom-posting like reading a book backwards ... it
doesn't work for me.
And regardless of his response, Mr Bruney IS an MVP, he is clearly
knowledgeable in his subject, and his book is well enough thought of to make
me consider buying it.

Whatever. When reading answers to some statements normal people like first
to see the statement then the response, not the other way around. Just
because you're using broken tool (Outlook Express) it does not excuse you of
being rude.
Besides, reposting that spamming site address is idiotic by itself,
regardless of top posting or not.

Regardless of who Mr Bruney is, this if completely offtopic on
comp.lang.python, misc.writing, alt.consumers.uk-discounts.and.bargains and
uk.people.consumers.ebay
Just notice that you're posting to *more than one* group. Just please learn
to use the damn reader! Even Outlook Express allows to set Followup-To:
header and limit the polution.
EOT
I am not going to join the argument, except to say that as you can see, I
top post. In outlook express, you can see the messages as a thread, so you
read the initial message, come to the reply and you read the response
without having to scroll. Bottom posting would be fine if the previous
message that promted the response was removed from the server, but it isn't,
therefore, top posting is very logical.

That is the oft-quoted, idiotic type of example. The reality is that if we
follow the thread, we know the question, we only want to see the answer, not
wade through a morass of stuff we have already seen. If we haven't seen it,
guess what, we can go and read it.

Does it matter? Microsoft doesn't own Usenet...
