I didn't cross-post, I posted to uk.d-i-y. I don't cross-post, and to my
recollection have never done so. I was a newbie when there was no such
definition as a newbie, 'cos everyone was a newbie. Cross-posting was
frowned upon right from the start.

Bottom or top posting isn't a standard, it's a guideline. There are
certainly plenty guidelines which suggest bottom-posting, but I think
they're crap.


Hi Guys

Thanks for all the info on tiling.

Its a lot of extra work but the guy about to do my kitchen (its tiled right
up to the ceiling on 3 walls!) much prefers to remove the old first.

While we werent on the subject...at the risk of going O.T...

Ive never understood why so many object to cross-posting. I can understand
it when its abused by spammer trolls to spread their rubbish everywhere but
when its from legitimate users posting to relevant groups wheres the harm?
And if it were so objectionable why is it then possible to do it. (I realise
that some groups reject crossposted messages)

Thanks for your views...

Rob
