  • OT: Top Posting (was: Dovecot correct ownership for logs)

    Hi Richard,

    "Top posting" (writing the answer above the text that's being replied
    to) is literally industry standard behavior.

    Can you provide a link to the standard you are referring to?

    Assuming such a standard exists, how would it apply to this newsgroup?

    Cheers,

    Just because something isn't an official ISO standard doesn't mean it's not standard behavior. And how it relates to this mailing list? It's called a setting.

    Most people prefer inline quoting around here (I know I do). That's
    because for big mailing lists, with long threads, it works much, much
    better.

    That said, we usually are tolerant of top posts. What gets me
    is the hostility of your reaction. You aren't going to convince
    anyone. Even not with "industry standards" [1]

    As far as your main concern goes... I lost interest.

    Cheers
