Why is JimH asking a question that is designed to encourage an on topic

insult the person who made the observation that rec.boats is mostly about
politics.


I'm not Kevin. But, do this for a little test. Google back to before
JimH bought his used runabout for about the same timeframe prior to him
buying it versus the time frame since he's owned it. Now, how many
posts do you see prior that asked the question about boat ownership?
Got it? Now, do the same thing post boat buying. What are the results?
It's simple, before he owned a boat, he never asked that question.
Since then, because of his childish nature, he asks it almost daily,
and sometimes several times daily.

Sudden left turn: English is read from the top of the page to the bottom.
Why do you love top-posting so much?

Doug,
I find it easier to read top posting messages, it makes it easier than
scrolling down to the bottom. Also, my NG reader places the cursor at the
top of the message.

CTRL-END takes you to the bottom of a message in Outlook Express and many
other programs. No scrolling.

I'm not sure if you realize this, but it is possible to move the
cursor. It really is!

Kevin,
I really do know, I just prefer to read messages on top, so I top post my
messages. I find reading bottom posting a major pain in the ass,
especially since 99% of the bottom posters do not trim any of the messages.

But you end up reading the replies to your posts at the bottom so I don't
understand your point.

Do as you want but it does make it easier to follow a thread when everyone
posts in the same way. This NG bottom posts so you should do the same.

As Kevin said, there is no big effort in moving the cursor to the bottom
when replying. ;-)

Doug, if you start reading at the top of the page, as you state English is read, then you'll read
his response (and this one) without wading through three feet of crap.
