That still doesn't solve the problem that myself and others in the
group are here instead of other, relevant threads.
And it obviously is an issue - or it wouldn't have come up at all.
Actually it was only one person that brought it up; I believe if that
one post had not been made, it still wouldn't have come up.
I would speculate that the reason it was never an issue is because C# is a
relatively new technology. It has not, been being shoved down first year CS
and EE majors' throats. When that changes, you will see a paradigm shift.
All the sudden instead of professionals, people teaching themselves and
uber-geeks there will be a flood of people wanting their homework done for
them and asking what a class is. For the most part this will probably not
push away all technical arguments - but it will slowly wear on everyone's
patience.
I would speculate that its never been an issue because 99% of the
people that use this group simply don't care how posts are quoted.
As far as zealous goes, it seems to be those that want only bottom
posts that exhibit that behavior; I don't think I've even seen someone
getting blasted because they were bottom posting in a group that is
typically top posting.
Its been my experience that those that complain about top posting
wrongly believe they are a majority, when they are not. They also
fail to realize that newsgroups are a community, and that community
norms change overtime. Telling people to do something one way
because that's how it was done 20 years ago is simply silly and a
little arrogant.
