It would be top-posting if I would put my answer above your question
instead of below it. See also for example http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html

In the more technical newsgroups people normally care since it's
important to really understand what the others are writing. Now,
if you would follow the advice from the link above and also re-
move unnecessary stuff like signatures, i.e. everything from the
line with just two dashes and below (and all text not relevant
anymore) from your replies it would be perfect;-)

You should also learn not to quote signatures (the bit after the -- ),
you news reader should be set to trim them by default.

What is interesting is there seems to be a meme whereby top-
posting is intrisically bad, to be avoided at all costs.

No, not really. It is *thoughtlessnes s* that is to be avoided at all
costs.
Organising an article takes a little thought. If you have something to
say that is not part of a direct reply to something another person has
written, whether you place it at the top or the bottom of your article
is really a matter of common sense. It might be more helpful to your
readers to read it first (before your point-by-point reply), or
afterwards (i.e. after the point-by-point).
But a reply that addresses a particular piece of text should quote that
piece of text and follow the quotation. Any piece of text not being
addressed should be replaced by <snipmarks.
If the whole of the reply is addressed to the text as a whole rather
than to a particular part of it, then the whole text should be removed,
and a short, fair summary of it placed at the top of the article, with
the reply underneath it.

I agree with your views on this. What I don't like are the self-
appointed network policemen, whose kneejerk reaction is just to condemn
top posting, without qualifications, as though top-posting were something
intrinsically evil.

Imagine, if you will, that I have just recently subscribed to this
newsgroup. I see that there is a thread on this subject, which interests
me, so I download headers, starting from yours.
What can I understand of this discussion?
Whether you top post (which I believe is rarely, if ever, appropriate)
or you intersperse your replies appropriately intermixed with the
relevant portions of the post to which you are responding, I think it is
good practice to quote sufficient of the post that your response makes
sense even if the rest of the thread is not visible. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am trying to understand Session variables and ran into a question on
how they work with data that is passed.
I have an HTM file that calls an ASP file and sends the name either by
GET or POST.
When I find is that if I send the value by the GET method,
response.write("From QueryString: " &

Hi,
All Ajax libraries I've read use encodeURIComponent() on the name-
value pairs extracted from forms before POST ing the result to the
server with and xmlhttprequest. I can understand why this encoding is
required in the case of a GET request and the form data is attached as
a URI query string; however, why is the encoding necessary for POST
requests?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
