Ah, but my friend, in the Wine-Users alias we established that it should follow the trend of the thread. In this thread, I started the trend as a "top-post".
So, I should ask you (in this specific thread), "Please don't bottom-post." hehehe. ;)
About USB... Isn't it working (at minimum) with iTunes?
That may be ok in wine users. But not so much wine devel... PLEASE do _NOT_ top post.
You can do what you want. However aggravating the developers when you are asking for help is not a good way to start things off.
Woah... Slow down there. Who's aggravating who, and who is starting things off? I'm not new here (I may lurk, but I do pop in), wasn't asking for help (I was answering another person's question), and a little humor never hurt anyone. ;)
Honestly, when someone makes a big deal out of whether to "top post" or "bottom post", it makes no sense. (You might as well start nitpicking at how people do their grammar.) Two schools of thought and popularity exist for each methodology; you'll find an equal amount of people to backup each side. (To paraphrase what someone emailed me via the wine-users alias thread, "This argument happens at least once a year.")
If you need to have people bottom-post... that's fine, and let them know kindly. If you've told them before, and they've forgot, then please remind them. But don't go off and get Terminator on them (I'm not speaking to you directly, but to the attitude in general about top/bottom posting.) :)
I would understand if this thread was in the middle of a long bottom-posting discussion. But for Pete's sake, I answered someone's question, and here I am now having to defend myself because I didn't "bottom-posting". (How the heck does this happen? I thought I was on the wine-devel alias - not the alias for "Etiquette for Various Alias Cultures".)
I can guarantee you that right now someone reading this thread is rolling their eyes because we are arguing over something which shouldn't have to be argued about. ;)
Now, take a deep breath, and let out a few laughs to relax!
