Message: [QUOTE="Rich Walker, post: 2429827"] The vast majority of long-term Usenet readers have lost whatever faith in the educability of the human race that they might ever have had. So when another person starts top-posting and insisting that they have some divine right to ignore long-standing protocols that have developed to ease communication in these groups, we just make use of the scoring features on our news-reading programs. Those who don't use news-readers with scoring appear to use killfiles instead. You'll never hear them complain because they can't hear you talk anymore. There *is* a reason long-standing cultures develop protocols for communication, and it's not just to annoy others. cheers, Rich. [/QUOTE]
