|
||
message after the quoted content from the parent message. This is correct
|
||
form, and until around 2000 was so universal on the Internet that neither
|
||
the term ‘bottom-post’ nor its antonym
|
||
<a href="../T/top-post.html"><i class="glossterm">top-post</i></a> existed. Hackers consider that the best
|
||
practice is actually to excerpt only the relevent portions of the parent
|
||
message, then intersperse the poster's response in such a way that each
|
||
section of response appears directly after the excerpt it applies to. This
|
||
reduces message bulk, keeps thread content in a logical order, and
|
||
facilitates reading.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="bottom-feeder.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="bottom-up-implementation.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">bottom feeder </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> bottom-up implementation</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
