Top Posting....

[Phil Labonte]

I still fail to understand how top posting "interferes with the flow",
if you read the original post why do you have to include it in your
replies?

As someone was comparing this to a newspaper... When they publish
letters to the editor they do not includes most of the original
article...

Or when they print multiple stories on the same subject they do not
include the orinal story in subsequent stories...

I mean if you cannot follow a post without quoting text...
