What is it about "please do not top-post" that you have difficulty
understanding? Or do "MVP"s feel that their time is so much more
valuable than anyone else's that they are free to ignore the norms?
[Actually I wrote the bit above [to a third party], but apparently
zentrader doesn't feel the need to conform with the norm about quoting
other people's messages].
Who made this the norm? In my travels through web-land, it appears to
be the opposite. Don't waste space repeating everything in every
post, and it wastes everyone's time by have to go over the same thing
again and again. Perhaps this thread has a purpose after all, anyway
it has been reported as spam.
I wasn't talking about "webland". I was talking about the
comp.lang.python newsgroup/python-list mailing list. And please don;t
complain that you don't have time to establish the norms for each group
you post to, since it's long been accepted netiquette that you should
*read* any group you intend to post to for a while, giving you time to
discover what the accepted norms *are* ... and on c.l.py the norm is
definitely "avoid top-posting".
