Jeopardy

[prog]

The war against Jeopardy-style posting is lost, and has been for a long time. I've only come around to realizing this lately.

I bet that the only people who don't do it are people who still post to Usenet, a set also expressable as people who know what "Jeopardy-style posting" means.

I don't mind, and I still write my replies "correctly" because it's better that way. But I have to accept that nobody will pick up on my example.

I have important co-workers who take it one step further into incomprehensibility: they respond with a new message at the top that says only "see my responses added below" and then they edit the quoted text with new responses and comments, usually offset by using a different text color. Going back after the fact and reconstructing the flow of a conversation then becomes quite difficult.
