Um, where is it? Do you have any pics? Have you ever used punctuation?

Thanks for your help it was only a simple request. I did not think I needed 
a gcse in English to ask for help never mind the fumes from the petrol must 
have gone to your head

No doubt you attended the "Arkright" school of 'customer care'! Clue, 
you are the seller, the person you replied to is your possible 
buyer...

So you're in Aberdeen or Cornwall? Doesn't matter, eh?

I'll give the Spitfire a miss if you're not willing to give a clue as to 
where it is, thanks though.

Thanks for being an ass. I might well have been a buyer for a
Spitfire, but if you expect to sell it you need to tell me:

* Where is it?

* What state is it in ?  Road legal / illegal driveable / towable /
trailerable / immobile / sweepings

* What other bits come with it (if any)?

* Is the paperwork straight?

Being able to read and understand our native language would be a bit of
a help to you when attempting to communciate with your fellow citizens.
You don't need a GCSE just primary school standard English which you
don't appear to have mastered.

Just that by saying 'you are no longer fit enough' suggests you come from
an age where such things were the norm.

Surely not? This shite way of posting to newsgroups came in with 'texting'
which is only really about a decade or so old.

I think that the:

a) I'll write my reply at the top of *everything* that was written
before in what I'm replying to

or

b) I'll trim out the bits not relevant to my response, and add my
tuppence-worth at the bottom

failing is more down to lazy and unthinking bastards, usually
encouraged to do so by the default Windows newsreading tool, Outlook
Express.

The a) habit pre-dates mobile/cell phones and texting by a decade at
least.

It's funny really that all the argument goes by the name of the pros
and cons of top posting.  It's more than just that.

Frankly, if the fucking stupid typical top poster would just learn to
trim, then it wouldn't be half as bad.  Hell, even some people who do
it in the right order leave screens of text for a one line comment.
But!  Don't get me started.

And the beat goes on...

As the saying goes, someone who turns out poor work always blames 
their tools. Used correctly OLE works, it's major failing is not what 
it outputs but how it works with attachments and Rich Text etc.

i think the comment was in relation to the non us of punctuation and 
the resulting poor readability of the post made by the op but i could 
of course be totally wrong i don't think dave was talking about top 
posting as there has been no top posting on the other hand we do see a 
lot of people using text speak when asking something like ru ok m8

My mistake.
