I think it is best to toppost
You are entitled to your own opinion, but I still think it is better to bottom post ;)

Only idiots think that.
No, it is not, in regards to the the best way to format a post.
Not trimming can be bad, too.
Your use of "not always needed" shows the dishonesty and illogic of your argument.
Of course it's "not always needed". But it IS almost always better.
"Interleaved" posting, like this, is the correct way.
A properly-trimmed post will not have you "scrolling" to get to the new material.
Why do you keep saying "bottom posting", as if the alternative to posting everything on top is posting everything on the bottom?
In any case, no. Keeping some context is a GOOD THING, so can hardly be called "wasteful".
What's "wasteful" is how top posters almost NEVER trim their posts.
Not even close. A properly formatted post, like this one, is of vastly higher-quality, and is more easily understood, compared to successive blocks of text as are left by stupid top-posters.
Are you mentally retarded? This has already been explained (see the very last paragraph of this post).
Making it a REAL pain, jumping down and up to try to comprehend a top post.
The most efficient system is that where the poster properly formats and trims his response to maximize quality of communication. The extra effort by the one person then benefits the MANY who will read the post.
How ironic, coming frm the person too lazy and selfish to properly format his posts.
Wow. Plonked by a stupid top-poster. How will I ever live this down?
I think DIZZY is correct it is not that hard to read all of the other posts, when they are posted often enough but then again if I had posted on the top you would most likely be reading the next message by now

Mike I believe you are being deliberately obtuse, since I know you're not really that stupid. Too bad I can't say the same for SgtSillycon.

I just had to hit page down 28 times before I say the start of your new material Mike. It was bottom posted, not interspersed posted.
All the material I scrolled past I have ALREADY read >
Dizzy my mentally challenged fellow.... I criticized bottom posting, and you answered the criticisms leveled by defending interspersed posting. I wasn't attacking that. Interspersed quoting/replying is an excellent method (and I've used it to advantage on many occasion), but it only lends itself appropriate in certain cases. In the remaining cases, top or bottom posting is used. The debate here, is the relative merits of top and bottom posting. You keep demonstrating your lack of intelligence almost daily.
"Mike" is a troll.
Idiot.
Hi Hairy Dave. I'd be glad to go head to head with you in a contest of wits if you think you are so much smarter. If you care to offer some intelligent counter points to my points that's fine. If you want imply I'm stupid then you should try to back it up.
You're a top poster. That's proof positive of your stupidity.
Dizzy is a "bottom" who resents ANYTHING or anyone on top.
I see that you are a liar as well as a top poster. What a surprise.
We're all still waiting for you to show us how sharp you are. Must be you can't. Now, that's a surprise! LOL.
