Do you ever use Google to read the Usenet, maybe if you were to try
that then you may appreciate why people top post.

No, I never go to an online server for my news: I have an offline
reader, and all the posts to the groups I'm subscribed to since my last
connection are compressed into a packet on the server and downloaded
compressed, then expanded and read at leisure.



The luxury of sitting at the same computer to read your News is indeed a
idyllic position to be in.
