If you bothered to snip, you wouldn't have to scroll down "reams of
text".

I have to scroll down to see what the latest poster wrote, and that can be a
long way down in many cases.

It's possibly not the car's fault totally. You've no real idea how it was
treated from new?

Perhaps if you read, and posted, in the correct order, it might have
made sense.

Top-posting makes Baby Jesus cry.

None-the-less, it is good etiquette in *this* newsgroup to trim quotes and
inline post. You can go to a different newsgroup where they like to top post
instead, obviously, but if you stay here you will get told off by everyone else
if you don't.

This is mainly about being polite. I'm fairly sure uk.misc and alt.autos.bmw
will be the same, but it's definitely true in uk.rec.cars.misc

Except that Dori is posting to alt.autos.bmw. Since your posts
are ending up here, why don't you abide by charter and not post
in HTML?

Excellent. And now we can both rant abut cross-posting.
