Perhaps I'd like to think that you learned something about top-posting
tolerance today, but rarely do the top-post whiners see outside of
their blinkers.

You're not on your own though Mary, it seems that most
top-post-whiners are afflicted with the same blinkered outlook that
leads them to believe that their preferences must be the only one and
that they're somehow at liberty to tell other people off for not
adhering to *their* preferences. The penny never seems to drop as to
why so many people regularly use top-posting and resist change. I
mean, would *you* change to top-posting if you joined a group where
most people did?

I think the fact that this is crossposted to a BMW group pretty much
guarantees that you're going to encounter self-centred ****s that
don't listen to reason or care about what anybody else thinks about
what they do.

Would I gag if I plunged my head into a bucketful of ****?
Why yes, I think I would.

Wonder if anyone else sees the irony of this?

Self-centredness is having your head so much up your own arse that you
believe that the preferences of you and others are the only
preferences that must be allowed and that they must be forced on those
who have different preferences. Generally speaking, people who prefer
to top-post do not have this self-centredness and are happy to deal
with more than one style of post.

Great. And what relevance does that have?

The question remains.
