It's an a-rententive obsession on Fedora/Red Hat lists that some people
get just too worked up over. Anyway, it means responding to a message at
the top, rather than below. In the real world, replying on top is done
as a courtesy to make it easy to read new information - so as not to
force the reader to go searching through a mile of much to find what you
have to say.
In theory, bottom posting on a list is supposed to make it easy to deal
with threads - you know, so it becomes easier to deal with a string of
messages. It is a valid point, though some people seem to get abnormally
worked up about. Happy bottom posting.

Nope. It's not a case of that, it's a case of following the RFCs and
also how people conduct conversations. When was the last time you called
a friend and gave them an answer to a question they ask after you're
finished.

What rot! You go to *any* technical usenet group (excluding MS specific
ones) and top post - you'll be shot down in flames! Why is simple. Say
you ask a number of questions and someone top posts answers, it is never
clear what they're answering to (even if they include the entire
previous 8 postings as they've not discovered the ctrl-x combination
yet) and so the number of mistakes and misconceptions which occur leap
up.
The biggest misconception is that it saves time. Sure, if the example is
simple enough (how are you?) then it's not that bad. However, in the
above example, the reader (who may not be as knowledgeable as the
sender) will have to work through not only the answer, but try to marry
it up to the points raised. That takes a hell of a lot of time in some
cases.

It is. Posting in context (rather than straight bottom posting) makes
things even easier still.

Contextual posting is better :-)

Actually, there are other technical groups that
top-post, the NIH-ImageJ group for one. In fact, I'd
never even heard of the -posting controversy before
joining this group.

Hi,
is there a place with the bit torrent files?
Christ, that was a big bloomin' sig file! Okay, I'm on cable as well,
but it's still a PITA to d/l it!
Have a look at the fedora.redhat.com site - there is a link to where to
get the bittorrent isos from (and also bittorrent 3.3 itself)
Failing that, I'm happy to post out the 3 CDs with the binary version to
anyone in the UK.
