I agree that ignoring posts really devalues the list. That's the whole 
problem with Bob's posts: He's been told multiple times that it drives 
people nuts and he still does it. Obviously having his posts valued does 
not mean a lot to him. I don't care about top or bottom posting. 
Personally I like top posting better but some people are really picky 
and like bottom posting. That's fine, to each his own. Where the post 
shows up relative to the quoted material is nowhere even close to as 
annoying as

reading a post
which is formatted
really small
so that it's really
annoying to read
the stupid thing.


Now, I haven't ignored any of Bob's posts or anyone elses posts on this 
list but reasonable formatting of one's posts is really not that much to 
ask. My only request is: please everyone, type your posts without any 
more forced line breaks than necessary and I'll size my window the way I 
want. Thank you!
