[mythtv-users] Who is VCRAddict - and who appointed him sheriffof Mythville?

[raphy]

This list reads like a bulletin board, or a modern day web forum.
In forums it would be nonsense to newcomers to a given thread if every
thread was arranged so that the latest post was the very first one you
saw and that the first post was the last post you would see back on
page 10 or so. In an email conversation between a couple of people,
top posting is no problem. People at universities are used to it and
do it all the time. When I email people I couldn't care less if they
respond by top posting: I don't need to see what I just told them, I
know what was in the last email I sent. Likewise it doesn't drive me
nuts if I get an email back and the first thing I see is my own quoted
text; I don't say oh no!, where is the response?! where is it?!  A
conversation between two people is easy enough to figure out.

Since using this list I have come to agree with the merits of not top
posting. It makes no sense to top post in a thread where anyone from
hundreds of users can post a reply, and it would be way too time
consuming to read every post sequentially as they come (the only
scenario in which top posting would make sense). If the first thing I
see when I open the thread is Jonny's response to Joe, I have no clue
what's going on because I don't even know what Jonny is talking about.
I'd need to scroll down and see what Joe said earlier. It's just
nonsense, plain and simple.

As for the OP criticizing vcraddict, he's hardly being a hypocrite,
and honestly I think he brings up a couple of good points. Cite some
law and court cases as precedent with actual quotes or links,
vcraddict, if you know so much about the copyright subjects you're
contributing to.

If I didn't quote anyone, I wonder what type of posting I just did...
