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.

Jeopardy-style == backwards

Being an old man of the Internet like you, I think you are referring to the rather poor email habit of putting one's reply to an email before the original. The problem with this, of course, is that when you read the last reply, you have no item what the first paragraphs are referring to.

I too piss against this particularly cold wind. I'm afraid "correct" and "polite" will always loose out to "fast" and "easy."

We are a dying breed.
