RE: top posting (was Audio/Video Problems)

I agree completely. And I also agree with Leslie. I haven’t seen any problems like this before in the Kubuntu technical support list, but I have DEFINITELY seen it in other Ubuntu ml’s. I would like to see everybody be respectful of each other and other people on these lists, and use them what they are for, which is definitely not cornering up on somebody. I would like to please see this thread stop too, so we can continue with support. I think this list needs Jesus Christ. And I apologize if I just said anything offensive or anything not in the Code of Conduct.

I think there is some misunderstanding about top posting. If we write
a new reply in a paragraph or long writing, (in my opinion) it is
alright to top post. But if we reply in "question and answer" style,
we should do bottom post. I almost always top post and all my business
email and write a very clear paragraph to avoid misunderstanding. But
on most mailing list, I normally bottom post.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style

Top-posting preserves an unmodified transcript of the entire
conversation, with the latest information immediately visible at the
top. This has obvious advantages for business correspondence, where an
e-mail thread can serve as an official record, though excessive
indentation could hinder printing or readability. Also, if the
participants have different stature (e.g. manager/employee or
consultant/client), it may be considered impolite to cut apart a
person's words and interject replies without the full context.
