I call TROLL on Dan! I top post for what I consider to be legitmate
reasons just like you bottom post for reasons you consider to be legitmate.

Can't we all just get along?


How about something OT that we can argue about... driving on the left side
of the road versus the right side. How does your country compare?

Here in Pennsyltucky, a lot of people drive on the left, despite
the fact that the whole US is supposed to drive on the right. It
usually doesn't turn out very good. .:shakes head, solemnly:.

Not very good at all.

It's the French that started to drive on the right side of the road:

http://users.pandora.be/worldstandar...the%20left.htm

But I don't know who started with top-posting which is against the
netiquette RFC.

People sticking with strict HTML, coding standards in PHP, valid XML,
nice pixelf*cked CSS etc. and not posting below a message on a list are
a bunch of hypocrites. Simple as that.

Up here in the great big hand (Michigan for those who don't know)
during the winter we have so much snow on the ground that you just
kind of drive where ever looks like road... Even if it means you have
people passing on your right going the opposite way.

I'm in Fargo, North Dakota (the "that's a state?" state). We experience
very much the same thing. Especially on the side roads that don't get
cleared as well. You just have to make sure that you don't run into
each other and you're good.

As far as replies, I like bottom posting because it keeps the
conversation flow more in tact. GMail does a good job regardless of
bottom or top posting though.

Yeah, but those are mostly Dutch -- you never know where they're going. :-)

It's a bit different here in Lansing -- with most being politicians,
we all drive in circles.

It's always the Dutch huh! It's because in our small ountry all
traffic is stuck all day long. So when it finally moves it goes all
directions

Not quite as bad as they do in India. I saw this a few weeks ago
and was amazed. SFW.

Nice.... I bet they have some higher alertness towards other drivers
instead of depending on traffic regulations.

I don't say it is safe or easy, but I think they manage pretty well......

There's a difference between Dutch in Dutch-land and those here in Michigan.

The ones we have here are really strange. They are the type that say
"Thrown Mama down the stairs, the broom" and other such
heart-stopping comments.

Yeah, but as long as the price of gas remains above a buck, I'm safe. :-)

True! But the Dutch do have a way with words I've heard worse
phrases then that!
