Then you are an idiot, because top-posting is obviously inferior. At least it seems you may not be as lazy as most top-posting morons.

No. Top-posting is an inferior way to format a post. Bandwidth is not relevant.
That is why posts should be trimmed of the parts no longer being actively discussed. There usually should NOT be any large amount of scrolling to get to the meat of the discussion. Check any of my posts, for examples.
dizzy, the world is rife with followers like yourself, who do what they are told and who are afraid to try something new. You needn't be afraid of change dizzy. Change is good and is most often for the better. Your words are fraught with anger dizzy. Let go of the past. Stop following dizzy. Be a leader. You can do it. Be an agent of change, not someone stuck in the past "because that's the way we've always done it". If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem dizzy. Be strong little dizzy.
And it seems that you are just another moron troll. dizzy, that last comment of yours could almost be a compliment if it had been said by someone with an IQ bigger than his shoe size. dizzy, rise past your low IQ and join society. It can't be fun always breathing through your mouth.
Dizzy, if it weren't for your vileness, I might actually pity you.
Thanks. I never had problems with binaries before and I don't do much with them anymore anyway. My ISP out sourced their news server and now there are some throttles on transfer rates etc. All still works, just makes getting anything of any size not worth it.
Top posting is SUPERIOR. Bandwidth IS relevant, and so is the idiocy of not trimming quotes.
I have a simple questions for you and other bottom post supporters.

okay, 15yearold high school troll.
you've been plonked. I'm not wasting any more time on your drivel.
JI agree with DIZZY as well. I think everyone should 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.
