Posting at the bottom would be OK if people didn't insist on

BTW, this is not allowed either. You should only quote as much as is needed
for context. You shouldn't quote the entirety of a previous post (unless it
is a couple of lines) and then add a small bit at the bottom.

Feel free to berate both top posters AND those unable to snip. Both are
equally bad habits.



OTOH, do as everyone else does, and do whatever suits your purpose and
the style.

I personally will snip, not snip, top post, bottom post, respond line ny
line, or as a summary, depending on the context and what if anything I
am trying to achieve.

And since I was on Usenet long before we even had Internet, and helped
to build said internet to carry it, I personally think that all these
moribund petty tyrants and net nannies can stuff some rapid set concrete
up their rectal passages.
