Anthony,
You do know you just cross-posted that reply to 5 different newsgroups,
only one of which has anything to do with BMWs, right?

Actually "admin", Jim Warman is a very knowledgable professional
mechanic whom I know from past first hand experience is very generous
with his formidable expertise on Fords. OTOH, I can't recall you ever
contributing a whole lot of value ever, even in the BMW group that you
frequent.
I think your reply (above) might more appropriately be applied to
yourself...

You didn't ask about netiquette, you asked for *reasons*.
And I gave the big one to you. Are you not adult enough to acknowledge
it?
Yeah, screw netiquette. Chew with your mouth open, belch in public,
slurp your soup. Who cares, as long as *you're* happy, right?

So what? You still don't read from bottom to top, do you? Just
because software and bandwidth have changed doesn't mean that
politeness and convention become somehow moot.

Top-posting actually encourages this. People throw in a one-line "LOL"
over 200 lines of quoted crap. Bottom or interspersed posting at least
forces folks to look at how much crap they are quoting. 90% of
full-quoters are also top-posters, IME.
> if you want to
> bitch, bitch about those who dont trim
Yeah - like the top-posters in this thread. Count how many full-quoted
as opposed to those who trimmed.
> and leave those of us who employ their common sense alone!
So you *do* read from bottom to top? Nobody I know does that - it
doesn't seem all that common to me...

LOL. Classic usenet - get proven wrong, claim victory and try to shout
down and insult the other posters.

Big talk from some anonymous guy hiding behind a computer screen. You
some kind of usenet tough guy?
