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.

Is that what it's called? It drives me nuts too, especially on work-related questions. Reading the answer before the question only means my reaction to the question is going to get diluted.

As other commenters have reminded me, it's also (and more succinctly) known as top-posting. I learned the snarkier name first, I think.
