[NTLUG:Discuss] Top Posting HAHAHA

[Robert Citek]

Yup.  We should all be using blogs instead.

1) the issue of top/bottom/in-line posting disappears.
2) the issue of replying to the list vs the individual goes away.
3) the issue of having archives unavailable for search engines like
Google vaporizes.
4) the issue of spam fades away.

Regards,
