From a netfriend:

The relevance of my comments to the discussion are general, and truly, if you actually consider them rather than just dismiss, it really will help. There are problems in the discussion which would be easy to fix, and for which the fixes are widely known in Usenet and compiled in many usenet guides.

The golden rule on the net, above all else, is “Remember the Human”.

The people with whom we discuss are people, and valued.

There are also some very simple conventions, which are trivial to follow and will help you improve your Usenet exprerience.

One of them is to put your remarks after quoted text. Without doing this the whole discussion gets lost. You are consistently top-posting (putting your replies before the material to which you are replying). Try doing it the other way around. Please.

This actually makes a big difference, and it shows up in many guides to Usenet. For example: <http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html>

None of this is not intended as an insult, or an attack, by the way. If you would just be able to follow some basic Usenet guidelines, it could only be a help to you in communicating.
