Some of you may not know, that one of the most through discussions about top posting (writing the answer above the original message) can be found on the clamav-users mailing list. (Here.) The conclusion:

Wrong:
A: Because it reverses the natural order of conversations and makes it confusing as to who posted what.
Q: Why is that so annoying?
A: Top posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing about mailing lists and Usenet?

Wrong:
Q: What is the most annoying thing about mailing lists and Usenet after top posting?
A: You asked what is the most annoying thing about mailing lists and Usenet after top posting. That's no-trimming.
Q: I asked what is the most annoying thing about mailing lists and Usenet after top posting. You answered no-trimming. Why is that so annoying?
A: You asked what is the most annoying thing about mailing lists and Usenet after top posting. I answered no-trimming. You asked why is that so annoying? Because scrolling through all the old info looking for the answer wastes a lot of time.

Good:
Q: You said no top posting and no no-trimming. Then what?
A: You asked then what. Then bottom posting and trimming.
Q: You said bottom posting and trimming. Is that annoying?
A: You asked if that's annoying. Well, that's a good topic for another thread in clamav-users.

Well, my post was just killed by s9y. It complained to invalid password when I clicked Save. (In Hungarian? When I set language to English?)

I wrote about blogging software, such as Wordpress, Drupal, b2evolution, Moveable Type. I think s9y would be the best if it worked as advertised. (I have encoding issues and user/group management is broken, too, at supersized.org.)

I'm thinking on an own blog sw intallation. I don't have PHP on my server, but I'll change that. And today I've found my next provider. Formerly I didn't want an American host, because they have limited bandwith. Here, in Hungary, most hosting bandwiths are unlimited. But I compared prices and figured that my last month's transfer was 0.083 gigabytes, so I changed my mind. If I add my PhpBB forum that is currently hosted at a free provider, that will maybe double this amount.

	GoDaddy Economic Plan	interware.hu
Storage	5000 MB	100 MB
Transfer/month	250 GB	unlimited
PHP	yes	no
MySQL	yes	no
Price/year	12 x $3.56 = $42.72	9990 HUF + VAT (~$55.76)

Szia, magyar közönség! Felváltva fogok magyarul és angolul írni, és ha megtanulok más nyelveket, akkor talán azokon is. A nem szót már tudom kínaiul, mert most is kínai oldalon pötyögök, de remélem, hogy ez a technikai hiba hamar elhárul majd. Addig is UTF-8-ra kell átállítani a lapban hibásan szereplő karakterkódolást, ha valaki látni akarja az ékezeteimet. Ekkor persze az egyéb magyar szövegek nem látszódnak majd, de arra ne figyeljetek! A keveredés végéig letiltottam a kommenteket, bocs mindenkitől!
