Some gentle advice to the very few members here who seem to prefer top-posting:

A1. Placing your reply at the top of the e-mail.

A2. It's rude, lazy or ignorant and makes it difficult to follow a thread.

A3. They get moderated REALLY FAST.

A4. Me, too.

Q1. What is top-posting?

Q2. Why is top-posting evil?

Q3. What happens to people who repeatedly top-post after warning?

Q4. I find this incredibly annoying.

Leftcoaster: Do you top post JUST to get on Zazu's nerves?

Sorry, I didn't notice this thread until now.

No, I don't do it to piss off Zazu. And, I honestly did not realize it was annoying. I will promise to remember not to do it in the future.

I'm not a noob. I just never thought it annoyed anyone, sorry. :o:

Oh leftcoaster you just made Zazu's day :) & am sure he needs a great day as well as extra cheer. I wondered abt your top postings. :confused: You've always been rather laid back, fun, & easy to get along with on SGT site. Glad you are on target now. Whatever will Zazu do now with all his extra time & no frustration issues? :D: Oh wait, he's still with WDW. Frustration will never cease.

So much for trying to be subtle. I guess it doesn't work here any better than it does in the park. :confused:

I'm delighted to accept your apology. I guess I should have sent you a private message before goofing on you as I edited your posts. My bad. :pirate2: I hope you can accept my apology as well.

Thank you! :) I've met Zazu - he's a great person, and a great CM! Actually, you all are! :) I don't know many of you, mainly because I don't get to WDW as much as I would like. Someday, maybe I hope to convince my wife to retire to FL.

I do enjoy reading everyones stories, and I try not to be one of the SG's that read so much about. I'm glad that you enjoy my presence here, and I really appreciate being part of this. This site has really opened my eyes from the CM's point of view, and I do indeed "get it." Thanks for making my time in the parks magical. :)

Well, I guess with the forum title "Cast Communications," I kind of ignored it because, well, I am not a CM.

Not a problem. No worries! :)
