It might be nice if you actually support your contention (that I lie) with
some evidence (see what happens when you focus on format rather than
content?).

and no, you are the precise reason I top post. your sad little crusade
against top posting is going so well isn't it?

You've both got email addresses listed in your postings. Why not email
each other to your heart's content and save the rest of us from having
to watch this crap.

Alternately, add both email addresses to a kill filter.

I'm not the one top-posting. If you stopped wasting your energy complaining
to the person who is doing the right thing and instead complained to the
person doing the wrong thing maybe you'd get somewhere.

No, but you are the one hurling personal insults about a matter of
formatting.

A matter of formatting that you motivated me to take up with your whining.

It's usenet. people don't give a fuck what you think. deal with it.

If you don't care what he thinks, stop wasting your time retaliating.

The usenet convention is to have a single line containing '--'
before your signature line(s)[1]. This allows it to be easily ignored,
snipped, whatever.

Look like they forgot to fill it in.

[1] Which by tradition[2] is limited to four lines, but there was
the old newsgroup rec.fan.<something> (sorry) dedicated to
some dude who had an exeedingly long signature.

[2] Well it's not really traditional, it was because some crappy
news/mail reader would truncate sig.s past 4 lines.

But you do care, your sig constantly whines about it and you keep replying.

Are you pleased with how well your sad little crusade against top posting
has gone so far?

It's "-- ". The trailing space matters. It's not necessarily the smartest
decision anyone ever made but it's part of Usenet now and isn't going to
change.

Your sig is a classic example of whining, and the funny part is that it is
actually counterproductive.

Oh yes, your crusade is going swimmingly, you have actually convinced
someone to take up top posting.

So, Top Posting - 1 v DRS - 0

What a sad loser you are.

There is no reason for it to evolve, fuckwit. It's ugly but it works.
