That is a completely silly claim. Virtually all the
other forums had/have posting in context as well.

And that is a separate matter entirely to what is actually being discussed,
the three alternatives, bottom posting, top posting and interleaved posting.

Just as true of the other forums too.

And context is only relevant in SOME circumstances anyway.

Yes. But usenet isnt the only place you see posting in context.

Its actually more useful for other than the OP, essentially because the
OP will always be aware of the context. Its those coming across the thread
in groups.google or just reading newsgroups that need the context more.

And that is a separate matter entirely to what is actually being discussed,
the three alternatives, bottom posting, top posting and interleaved posting.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag, or even
manage to work out what is actually being discussed either.

No surprise that it needs to cower behind that pathetic excuse for a nick.
