No where in the world is there more quasi "standards" than on the
Internet. Everyone here has a perception of how it has to be and not
a single one has a clue how to make it that way.

If the largest manufacturer of software in the world defaults their
news reader to top posting, that's good enough for me. "Stick your
request for comments" in the same mail box you use to receive all the
other spam.

One day you and a couple of other militant morons will discover you
have no right to even attempt to impose your ideas of correctness on
anyone else and (hopefully) stop the practice... Although that might
actually be asking too much from those with such feeble powers of
deduction as you have Mark.

Once again, Douglas, you have me confused with someone else, as you've done
many times.
I have never...NEVER...jumped on someone for top-posting.
Not one SINGLE time.

Perhaps he can't keep the people in his conversations straight because
it's impossible to do so when quoted threads have multiple top posts
intermingled within them? It amazes me when people so thoroughly
illustrate the pitfalls of their own stubborn behavior while
simultaneously resorting to infantile name calling directed at those
who're simply trying to help them maintain a conversation in a sensible
form.

People have conversations in a chronological manner. This is normal.
unless of course, you're Yoda and speaking to a bunch of Jedi using mind
tricks...



The next line is in deference to those who believe that attempting to
follow *standards* isn't helpful in fostering the natural flow of
conversation and therefor, unnecessary.

It's not about scrolling. It's simply about knowing exactly what a person's
comments are responding to.
This becomes especially important in conversations between several people,
where there are many comments about portions of other posts.

Your attitude JoeT, is almost as bad at mark moron's.

I know exactly what I'm doing and to whom I am addressing my remarks. Moron
here thinks I'm lashing out at the equally outspoken idiot who steals other
peoples images and puts them to his own (illegal) use on his own site
without asking permission and thinks there is no wrong in doing this. Maybe
I'm wrong and the old adage "it take one to know one" should reign?

Even a $500 cash reward did not uncover the real identity of this rotten
mongrel who thinks he's got support in these groups for his theft.
Eventually it will surface when he makes a slip and I'll be waiting. Every
dog has it's day and I'll have mine.

No not him... But a man so obsessed with his ideas of correctness, he
attempts to belittle others who participate in the group and show his
mastery of computers and Internet images as he derides anyone who doesn't
comply with his wants. Sadly there are quite a few of these sort of people
interspersed amongst the Usenet community. Maybe strutting their stuff here
makes up for having a little dick or something?

In case you have actually lost the plot Joe, being a Thunderbird user...
Outlook Express news reader catalogues replies so that following a thread
is only slowed down by those bottom posters who insist on posting their few
lines of comment at the bottom of 20 or 30 other people's messages which
forces civilised people to engage in scrolling down to the often one line of
quip, which is likely to induce RSI in the wheel finger if you persist with
your notion that your method is correct. Really... If you can't follow a
thread, what the hell are you doing trying to?

The fact is; Top posting no more or less correct than bottom posting. It's
just that I don't correct you for what I perceive as your annoying
behaviour... Akin to a smoker demanding the right to make everyone else a
passive smoker because they choose to smoke. So stop trying to impose your
idea of right on me now, will you?

As for insulting you... Why would I do that when you are simply engaging in
a discussion spelt out almost hourly in any of a few million newsgroups? No
friend, you can rest easy in my support of you having an opinion and the
right to express it just so long as you don't engage in personal
vilification like Mark Moron is doing to grandstand his opinion as he
hijacks someone else's thread.

He's only getting back what he gives and squealing like a stuck pig because
of it... Lovely fellow indeed. NOT! Armed with a can for freeze spray,
photographing colourful moths is child's play... Isn't it Mark?

I am now convinced that you are not a rational person.
What's this about a moth picture?

I haven't touched that gallery for at least two years, Doug, and it never
had a moth picture in it.

Doug, you have done this many times...where somebody gets you angry (in this
case, another mark, but Mark Thomas...not me)...and then you set about
attaching any offense you've ever taken against anyone...out on me. This is
a consistent problem you've had, and you're demonstrating it once again
here.

I think it is perfectly clear to any rational person that giving one's
address out on usenet, especially to someone who makes threats such as
seen here (he's done far worse, including threats of physical violence)
would be silly. Especially when I live quite close to him!

However, I have made the perfectly reasonable offer to Douglas that he
should name his solicitor (he could even email it to me). I'll be
delighted to give a *legal practitioner* my full details, so he can
investigate Douglas' allegations. Douglas, very strangely, (O:, hasn't
taken up this offer, nor can he explain why he won't. He doesn't like
to have his bluff called, and you can see how his mind works by reading
this thread. I'm sure you'll be an image thief too, shortly, Mark2...

Douglas builds these huge vicious fantasy worlds when someone points
out his shortcomings - in my case I had the nerve to repost some of his
webpages. I did that because he made some ludicrous claims, but then
*removed* the webpages so there was no evidence of what he had said. I
didn't like that sort of behaviour, so I reposted them. I'll happily
do it again.

He now, at every opportunity, claims I am an 'image thief', and (in his
tortured mind) I am now making a fortune selling all his images. (Have
you looked at his images..? The concept is laughable.)

Maybe
strutting their stuff here makes up for having a little dick or
something?
What a lovely man. I'm sure that any solicitor would be impressed by
his language and the threats peppered through his posts, if Douglas
ever actually had the guts to go to one..

don't engage in personal vilification like Mark Moron is doing
Anyone else find that line pretty funny? Hint to Douglas - look up
'hypocrisy'.

He's only getting back what he gives and squealing like a stuck pig
because of it... Lovely fellow indeed. NOT! Armed with a can for
freeze spray, photographing colourful moths is child's play... Isn't
it Mark?
Just for the record, although I really don't wish to extend a
conversation with such a non-rational person... This rings a bell with
me, vaguely. I seem to recall that someone had a go at Douglas'
control/understanding of dynamic range (probably me!). It was
suggested that he check his monitor because he had looked at your Maui
folder, Mark, and complained that you had lost details in the shadows..
(Which you clearly hadn't - nice folder, by the way..)

I seem to recall there was also a side conversation around the same
time by someone, perhaps Annika?, who had mentioned that putting
insects in the freezer for a few minutes was a good way to slow them
down. Which it is. Which is also where the freeze spray came in, I
guess? And somehow, Douglas feels that sort of thing damns you as a
lowlife human being, even though he can't remember why, and can't
remember who, and can't remember where or what exactly was said..
and... what were we talking about again? (O:

It's just sad.

Anyway, Mark, why don't you just go and take a picture of a moth, just
so that Douglas will feel better...

(O:


PS - Douglas - NAME your solicitor. Your bluff is called.
