Re: Fedora Desktop future- RedHat moves

fwiw, I wasn't attempting to top post or anything... I was simply
replying to those that had replied to me, and to other things that
didn't sit right.

I generally just read along and say nothing... sorry if I wasn't
following proper etiquette though, I suppose it's much better etiquette
to make pointless off-topic posts declaring such things.

Live and learn.

I've been trying to explain to one of my windoze centric co-workers why
top posting is not appropriate and couldn't find the right words. Thank
you! List ettiquete has always been a contentious issue, right from the
beginning when we etched our missives using rock tablets (I vaguely
remember it 8^) but I've always read from left to right and top to
bottom and it's hard, for me anyway, to go at it backwards.
