You read the response first and then scroll down to see the context of the response. I think that most people would prefer a conversation that is in order, oldest comment first, and then a response, and so on.




what I don't get is why some people make it a freakin' federal crime.

Occasionally, yes. F'rinstance, I'll do it if I'm responding to a posted
article and am making a comment referring to the whole thing, want to
leave the article up for someone who hasn't seen the original yet; that
way I'm not doing the 1-line respnose at the end of a long unsnipped
post. But if I'm responding to various different points in the article,
then I snip out everything I'm not responding to and respond to each
point directly after it.

BTW, ""BAD MANNERS"" would include always pointing out people's LITTLE
mistakes or flaws.
BITE ME!

Well, AS I SAID, my problem is with people who don't know how to "snip."
FARRRRRRR more annoying than a top post.

In the real world, all replies are on top. It's assumed you've already read
what's been said below. I guess Usenet doesn't know that rule...tsp
