Sorry for the top posts, i am new to mailing lists. How do i reply with a sub-post? I know this is going to be a top post sorry again in advance.
When you reply to a post, you split up and type inside the message you are responding to. This is a good example as to why you should not top post:
A: Yes.
Q: Are you sure?
A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
Q: Why is top posting annoying in email?
If you are not convinced that it is wrong by the simple example above, now try to mix top and bottom posting:
A: Yes.
Q: Are you sure?
Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
I don't know about you, but that's simply crazy!
The correct way:
Q: Why is top posting annoying in email? A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. Q: Are you sure? A: Yes.
