Re: Fisking vs Top-Posting

Well afaik we should ask Robert Fisk about it.

But Phillip has the tendency to also post comments (top, bottom,
inline, sideways and upside down)  without reading the source he is
making the comment about, like @CircleID regarding Beckstrom's book
"The Starfish and Spider" (read the book it's quite interesting).

Perhaps we'll get a better picture about "fisking" with a video blog ...

Cheers

PS. Upps I top posted, sorry :-S

Fisking ... it sounds naughty :-). No blogger jargon aqui (I mean me).

I'll admit it...I was really disappointed to learn how Phillip had defined 
that word.  I think the word should be reserved for something naughtier.

And yes, top posting really is inherently evil. :)  There's no need to quote 
an entire (long) message for context, that's what the In-Reply-To field is 
for.
