At risk of descending even further into vulgarity, I will say no more, except that c***ts are at least useful, which is more than can be said for top posters and their defenders.

If the default was to start typing at the bottom, the cretins would include the whole preceding message thread. Every news client puts the cursor at the top so that you can review the preceding message and decide how much of it to leave as a quote. Admittedly OE makes it harder than it should, but there are better, free alternatives people could use.

Irma > Usually somebody who, having a dead brain, just accepts the defaults > Micro$loth has coded into outlook express. You need to remember that not everyone is a computer expert like yourself. They might not be aware of alternatives. Saying these people have dead brains just confirms your ignorance. Just because someone isn't up to scratch with the latest news clients, it doesn't make them stupid. There was a time when these "newbies" were welcomed instead of insulted. > Top-Poster = about as welcome as those who drive on the wrong side of > the road. That's a really bad analogy. No one is gonna get hurt here, it's not the law for a start. it's more like people who insist on driving along at 30mph in a 50 zone. Annoying to some, not really worth creating a big deal over.

Also, should I know the answer to a question asked, it is extremely unlikely I will reply with that answer to a persistent top poster. If you want the answer to a question on any newsgroup, it is a very good idea to post on that group in the generally accepted format.

Well boo hoo. Perhaps if you're *so* small minded to behave like that, then perhaps your replies would be similarly worthless. >> [snip] >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Well boo hoo.

Irma [snip] > > You are entitled to your opinion, but by the same token > > so am I. > > So why don't you think he is entitled to his opinion WRT > posting format? He is perfectly entitled to his *opinion* but if he wants a reply in a group which by convention does not top post, then he should abide by that convention. Ivor > Just because someone isn't up to scratch with the latest news clients, > it doesn't make them stupid. Nothing to do with technology. Common sense dictates that an answer FOLLOWS a question.

You have to wonder about those who can't even grasp that. Common sense I hear you say? Common sense really down to the person in question. Some people might be of the opinion that putting the new material at the top is easier. Rarely is a post ever taken out of the context of the discussion, what with modern newsreaders that cache articles, and Google Groups. I had this discussion about 8 years ago, its a matter of respecting other people and how they like do things. Who gives a damn? I can't be bothered with any more posts to this thread as I really do have better things to be doing. Marc >> Just because someone isn't up to scratch with the latest news clients, >> it doesn't make them stupid. > >Nothing to do with technology. Common sense dictates that an answer FOLLOWS >a question. You have to wonder about those who can't even grasp that. Well firstly it's a small percentage of posts that are direct questions and answers anyway. And secondly, the answer *does* follow the question since the question is in the previous post. You're talking about the position of the *quote* and as Marc says, you should respect where people prefer to put the quote in their posts. It's not like it's hard work to figure out. You have to wonder about those who can't even grasp a different posting style. >>> Just because someone isn't up to scratch with the latest news clients, >>> it doesn't make them stupid. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > like it's hard work to figure out. You have to wonder about those who > can't even grasp a different posting style. Exactly. I always welcome top and bottom posters with equal interest. What pisses me off are the self-appointed (self-important) 'net police whose limit of intelligence is to slag off top posters. I suppose I should be more considerate, understanding that these sad f**kers don't have a real life or aren't capable of proper discussion. Irma > What was, Mr. Top Poster..?

I know little about mobiles and [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >> ship with 512Mb memory cards and are excellent for music, and have 2 >> megapixel cameras with autofocus and flash. I don't know about the 800 (or 810) but my 750 doesn't have flash. It has an LED light but flash is available as an extra that plugs into the end of the phone. I thought the 800/810 were the same - but I could be wrong. >She is using a 1gb memory card in the 6230 and says its not enough ... >wants more choice of music. >Will the w810i take large memory cards? .... i'll google it .... I think they're all supposed to take up to 2GB. SignaturePeter > My better half is after a new phone ...

Better screen, better camera, takes the same memory cards. It can do MP3/Radio and will be the same interface. SignatureMarc See http://www.imarc.co.uk/ for contact information. |
