About my health, top posting vs bottom posting, and Ubuntu forums

I can't remain silent anymore, IMHO, this is getting a pure waste of time,
effort and it's totally useless if you ask me.
My friend Lance here has explained why he can't use bottom post instead of
top post. What is so hard about that to understand?
I mean, seriously? is it that important? do I have to change my Email
address or install a plugin or do whatever has been suggested just to make
it easier for some people to understand what I'm talking about? isn't that
a waste of time for me? so I save their time and waste mine? where is the
logic in this for God's sake?
Instead of wasting our time in this talk, why not to talk about a better
topic or issue?
Example?
Has anyone noticed that whenever someone sends an email to the mailing list
asking about anything:
1- The discussion will NEVER reach to a final decision or solution MOST of
the time and very few will end with a clear solution and understandable
decision.
2- No matter what the topic is, someone will go off-topic and talk about
something else
3- Some are talking about guidelines or whatever you call it and they don't
follow that themselves
So what is going on here?
Can't we really manage to fix that?
Just for the record:
1- With Forums, whenever you quote a post, your post will be a bottom post
and that is the case in Ubuntu Forum.
2- Even if that feature is not available, you still can do it.
3- Ubuntu Forum at some point is much more organized than our mailing list
- sad by true.
4- Whenever someone goes off-topic on Ubuntu Forum, not only admins but
even user will stop him/her.
Shall I carry on?
PLEASE, don't be offended and don't get me wrong. I love you all, this is
my 2nd family and I have made that clear 1000 times :) I do care about all
of you and as a member of this family, I find it totally waste of time for
what we are doing.
Lance is one of our best testers and without his efforts, we won't be
wherever we are right now.
Others are doing a great job here too.
I'm JOBLESS for 4 years now and instead of finding a job, I'm killing
myself to support Lubuntu as much as possible even when I'm sick, etc.
PLEASE, don't make it HARDER for those who LOVE this place and spend their
days and nights over here to do something for this community. PLEASE!
I'm deeply sorry if my words hurt but I can't remain silent and if you
think I'm too much for this, PLEASE remove me :)
Thank you!
