Default Top posting in MS Newsgroups

I don't think anyone here is that bothered - life is too short to worry
about such things

Graham if this is the norm here that's fine. I prefer to compose (and
read) my emails with top posting, that's for sure. I have seen a few
others here do bottom-posting, and I was under the impression that
this was part of "netiquette." But as long as I"ve got at least one
MVP who is a militant bottom-poster I think I'll survive around here.


We have all managed quite happily with top posting in the Word
forums since long before others started to take feeds from the NNTP
server.
Some pedants still prefer to bottom post, but then that simply means
that those of us who answer the questions (and who don't on the
whole use the web portals) have to wade through reams of old stuff
to get at the latest contribution. When it is at the top (which is
where you are being invited to write) it is the first thing that we
see. So bottom post if you must, but don't be too surprised if your
contributions are sometimes overlooked.
