May I be the first to suggest that blabbering on about how "mean" it
was of Cory to point out to someone that top posting is considered bad
practise has actually caused far more harm to the thread than his
so-called "attack"?

Back on topic, folks. And thanks for pointing out the matter of
top-posting so quietly :)

And in a completely hypocrytical move, I'll go on about the "humanity
to others" thing. I personally think it is best for people to speak
their minds rather than holding secrets about what they think of
people. Now that you know I do that, isn't it delightful that I
haven't spouted a dislike for anyone here? I think it is a more
humane, ethical treatment than the alternative sugar-coating. After
all, I would prefer if people did that for me instead of secretly
hating me. So if that is my definition of humane, why isn't it allowed
in our world?
I, for one, really appreciate Cory's frank manner. I know where I
stand with him (*hides*), I know that he isn't personally attacking
"mr", and I know that he doesn't like people top posting. Cory told us
all that with as few words as possible so that I may get on with
things efficiently instead of plowing through some syrupy dramatic
epic about how he feels saddened and betrayed by "mr"'s posting
ettiquette, can understand that mr does not realize the pain he causes
yet he wishes dearly, from the bottom of his heart, for the good of
all the universe and for "mr" himself, that it would stop.
...Oh, and since when is "please don't top-post" mean?

PS: I still don't get what people have against Tango except that it
looks distinctive and is widely adopted.

PPS: Tom Koson, is that a joke (hahahaa) or are you hoping to
unsubscribe from the mailing list? If you want to unsubscribe, try the
link at the bottom of each message.

PPPS: As my Slashdot signature says: "My opinions are mine; this post
is 'in my opinion'. Qualify it yourself." It speaks volumes about why
I nearly fail so many English courses.
