Noticed I clipped all of your message and mine simply to reply to what is relevent. Go to other newsgroups and you will find a majority of the people do NOT top post. I agree with your estimation of quote after quote after quote. That too is impolite. Simply quote what you wish to talk about. Very simple. I bet you could do it without even trying. d;o) Dave |

I guess that maybe top-posting Audi drivers would hold the speed limit in the passing lane. Since only *they* matter, that's what you could expect. Or some other MFFY* driving habit. After all, differing styles must be accomadated. E.P. *Me First, Fsck You. |

And note I have changed from single posting to bottom posting as I was prepared to - thanks |

You mean like driving 5 under in a passing lane? Or those folks who swing wide for right turns, blocking two lanes? Folks who stop needlessly on on-ramps, because they can't figure out how to merge? Dream up some other legal, but discourteous traffic behavior that suits the scenario. There are probably thousands. But you get the point. Unlike you, I support courtesy. You support "if it feels good, do it - to hell with the rest of you." MFFY. > Since you > (presumably) drive an Audi, do you exect that everyone drives one > since that is your preference?

It speaks volumes that you are running around a.a.a. humping my posts trying to goad me into a flamewar. Find another hobby. E.P. |

And secondly logical. It's also kind of you not to block the passing lane. When I drive long distances, I always appreciate courteous driving by folks, and I try and repay the favor by doing likewise. Cheers! E.P. |

Why not just be an individualist and follow your own inclination, rather
than what the net police tell you?? Mike. charles blassberg > wrote in message ... > > > I guess that maybe top-posting Audi drivers would hold the speed limit > > in the passing lane.

After all, whatever *you* want is the most important thing. Or, like most of the rest of us learned before first grade, we could imagine that the world does not revolve around me, me, me. E.P. |
