The chief of police cars

"The sporty upstart Dodge Charger is aiming to challenge Ford Motor
Co.'s Crown Victoria as chief of police cars. Chrysler LLC's full-sized
model that debuted in 2006 is no immediate threat to the Crown Vic or
General Motors Corp.'s Chevrolet Impala, the market's other major
player, but the Charger is gaining momentum..."

so what. you have proved that even an idiot can cut and paste.

 

So What are you proving?
That some idiots can't figure out how to use their "shift" key, or that some
idiots don't understand "top posting" and why it is frowned upon???

STFU!

 

That's a very good market for it.
Tons of power, RWD so it can crash into those it's chasing and little
concern on fuel cost.

 

Some idiots can't tell about crossposting either... nor can they understand
that the mere idea of bottom posting is about three parts retarded,
anyway.... scrolling through line after line of stuff I've already read just
to see that someone either says "me too" or whimpers about top posters....
If something in print offends you... stop looking at it.

Now... while this is still crossposted... can you tell if it's top posted or
bottom posted?

But... Nomen is still the king of cut and paste, who really gives a shit
drivel....

 

A: Because it destroys the logical flow of a thread of comments,
and makes it difficult to keep up with a conversation.

Q: Why do so many people object to top posting?

A: Writing your reply to a message above what you are referring to
rather than below it.

Q: What is "top posting"?

 

Dan... if people were smart enough to begin reading at the BEGINNING of the
thread, there would be no doubt regarding the topic and content of the
thread. If we jump into the middle of of it, we will be subject to whatever
editting, chopping and tinkering that any number of previous posters may
have inflicted on previous messages... making whatever you have decided to
read dubious as for value, intent, context and content.

In an ideal world (one where people read the whole sentence and actually
followed the conversation) there would be no need for quoting any previous
messages. Logical flow? I see little logic displayed by most UseNet posters
to begin with... especially those that come up with lame excuses for top
posting destroying "logical flow" . If you started reading the thread from
the beginning, you would have a good undertsanding what the thread was
about, you would be aware of any statements, misunderstandings or other
conditions that generated any particular reply...

But you young'uns can be particularly lazy and prefer to have things handed
to you so that you can react in wierd and wonderful ways.

Look at it this way.... I think you are a wiener.....

But who the **** am I?

Should it really matter to YOU that I think you are a wiener?

To you, I am nobody... you don't know me and I don't know you (somehow, I
find that comforting).... Deal with it, Princess.... nobody promised that
you would be wise.

Now.... you are going to have to decide if THIS is top posted or not....

Correct answer is yes, it was top posted before I deleted the rest of the
crap you should have already read.....

Explain that to me.... wiener....

 

how does it make it difficult to keep up with a conversation??

i have already read what was posted. i know what you said, and am responding
to it. i don't need to read it again, and again, and again.

also, why does everyone have to copy everything said before they reply??
i already read that stuff 3 + times

 

never argue with an idiot. if he wins, what does that make you???

 

To me, posting is like filing your records.. Some file most recent to the
front, others
prefer oldest to the front. Doesnt really make any difference at the end of
the day, and
it never really made any difference online either. Just a reason for some
to become
pedantic.

But as to the Dodge, recent reports that the Dodge line is one of the least
dependable in the USA could wreck hopes that this product line will gain any
significant use as police cars. If they are really "Dodge tough", fine, but
this claim
to durability does not seem to be true of late.

 

Especially an IDIOT who still has no fuckin clue where his SHIFT key is....
Sheehs...

Yes, you Tom, who professes "I'm ignorant, AND I LIKE TO LOOK THAT WAY"!

 

Don't CROSSPOST! Well you shouldn't, but it's OK for me...
Are you smoking dope Jim?

 

i guess it's time to add another person to the ignore list.

 

Q: What is "top posting"?Bottom posting is fine when people delete the 3 pages of crap above
their 'I agree'

b

 

It amuses me when someone goes off on some rant about top-posting. The
ONLY place that top-posting is loathed (or anyone actually gives a rat's
ass) seems to be newsgroups. In business E-mail communication, the
equivalent of top "posting" (ie writing your response to an e-mail chain
above the quoted text) is BY FAR the most common method because a) it
still preserves the whole thread of communication for reference, and b)
the immediately relevant portion is the first thing you see without
having to scroll through 6 weeks of prior discussion.

Note that I'm NOT top-posting here, because the quoted text has been
appropriately trimmed rather than preserving the whole string (which
would include Nomen Numbnuts original post, and that's something I
refuse to do at any cost).

And by the way- since when is the Chevrolet Impala still any kind of
real player in the police cruiser market? Since it went front-drive its
been used for nothing more than public school campus police and city
parking enforcement around here. The Charger 3.5L v6 HO is also faster
than the Ford Interceptor v8, and the 5.7L Hemi v8 is finally back to
the kind of performance you could expect from copcars in the big-block
days, or the early 90s with the LT-1 powered Caprice.

 

What the "Dodge line" rates is immaterial. The LX cars are relatively
problem free and the 8cyl versions are "recommended" vehicles by CR. And
while Toyota etc, may "win" the durabilty award, there ain't much of
a difference in the domestic police choices.

 

Our Police fleet is composed of mostly Impala's. We even had the new
Impala's before consumer's did. I guess it helps that we build them too.

 

THHPPPT. Toyota durability my butt. Tell that to the folks whose Tundras
have snapped camshafts

Out in the real world, I would expect pretty much any Ford, GM, or Mopar
to match or outlast a Toyota. Especially the rear-drives like the
Charger and Interceptor.

 

"Rant"? Where?

Perhaps so. In case you didn't know, *this* is a newsgroup, not business
email. So, your "argument" is quite irrelevant. Right?

And right there is the main reason why there's a difference. Most
business email conversations don't go on for 6 weeks, or have more than a
few (3-4) participants. Quite different than newsgroups. Right?

Right.

 

I consider it funny how top posters rant on and on about pages of text with
simple replies at the bottom, and then their posts contain the same pages
and pages of dribble, with their replies at the top. As if there really is
a difference...
