NO. NOT ONLY ARE YOU AND YOUR GROUP RECOMMENDING IT IN OUR GROUPS, AFTER
ATTACKING US, BUT YOUR GROUP SPAMMED MEMBERS OF OUR GROUPS IN THEIR INBOXES!

NO! They read the first message, then the next one. If they forgot
something in the first message, they don't have to open it up again, they
just have to scroll down to the bottom of the message they are reading.
Efficiency wise, top posting makes more sense than having to scroll past
words you have already read to get to the ones you haven't yet.

NOPE. All you NetNazi are trolls too. You keep it up, even after it was
explained to ya'll that we don't care! Now it's war, and the terms have
been set. UNCONDITIONAL SURENDER.
Oh, and by the way, you guys are just helping MS in the process, because
ya'll are keeping me from torturing them.

Because you are nothing but an intolerant prick, that can't accept the fact
that people every right come to different subjective conclusions than you
do.
