How about the voice and songs of Joni Mitchell? She is my favorite!
Jim Carter "The Boat" Bayfield What? You prefer another female vocalist (who, by the way, produced some very nice work)? Oh no! This being rec.boats and all, we'll need to exchange 50-60 posts of flame on topic. :-) |

Actually, I have no problem with top posting. :-)
If you want to scroll down and erad the rest you can, but you don't need too just to find the reply. If you've been following the thread, you already know the rest. ============================================ On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 17:15:42 GMT, WaIIy wrote: On Thu, 18 Dec 2003 08:58:47 -0500, "John Gaquin" wrote: Does anyone else find these things annoying?

You beat me too it.
Joni ruled in the 70's Court & Spark is a masterpiece. She is one of the most talented songwriter/musician types of our time. Not like the crap they call music these days. db "Jim Carter" wrote in message le.rogers.com... "Gould 0738" wrote in message ... (snip) Still say that Joan had the best voice of any female vocalist in the 60's. Spectacular range and control. (snip) How about the voice and songs of Joni Mitchell? She is my favorite!

![]() "WaIIy" wrote in message ... No, top posting is for lazy people who can't fathom the way a thread works. Agreed. The flawed logic of top posters is that they all seem to think that their reply is the definitive end to the thread, and that no other posts will be following. A thread is a stream of consciousness, or in the case of wrecked.boats, perhaps more of a puddle of consciousness. But at any rate the only way to achieve continuity and proper chronology of prior posts included in a current post is to bottom post. When there's a mix of top and bottom previous posts included in a current post, it is nearly impossible to determine the posting chronology. There's a reason that printed information is printed from the top down. Nobody would want to read a newspaper article/magazine article/book, etc. if the paragraphs of the story were scattered about the page all higledy pigledy, now would they? |

Gee, haven't seen top/bottom posting discussed for weeks. I prefer reading
top posts and that is the way I post my comments. If doing things the easiest way is some one's definition of lazy, so be it. "RG" wrote in message news:ygqEb.17273$J77.13976@fed1read07...
