Bad manners?? Bad manners is exibited much more often by people who do not
snip prior posts and let a string go for pages and pages. I believe that
the bottom posters who do this outnumber the top posters. No, that can't be
right because a majority of Usenet users top post already. I note that you
do it the proper way and commend you for being conscientious about it. I'll
take my bad manners when I top post over the bad manners of the bottom
posters who don't snip!

No, it was done 20 years 'ago'. Now it is not the way things are being
done. I believe that you may feel better if you just go with the flow and
not let it bother you. You are not going to change the majority of the top
posters. I will continue to do it when I think it is proper, and will do it
this way when I think it is proper. That is called commen sense and using
my discretion. There are always options for people to use rather than being
tied to strict boundaries.
Have a nice day.
