I would do it, though ironically enough I used the whole "it's useless, no-one will accept it, it's
not a real subject, etc." argument in the GCSE General Studies paper itself! In hindsight, I really,
really, really wish I hadn't done that...

I often do things like that. At the time it seems a good idea - maybe to try to let the examiners
read a different type of script. I don't think the examiners see the humour if you trying to build a
rapport with them... unfortunately

It's not just Niall! We didn't put it in the FAQ (both current and the earlier version from three
years ago) for nothing, you know! It's very tiresome to find, say, a one line response at the top
which often provides few clues about the topic. One then has to scroll down to find out what the
response relates to. It may be quicker for the (lazy?) *writer* but it actually slows down the
*reader*. As communication is supposed to be the point of the game, top-posting seems
self-defeating.

[q1]> General Studies is not a qualification that requires hours of work.[/q1]
well it is a qualification, that was the point I was trying to make, and I assume you will need to
put some hours of time into it to understand what is required in the exam surely, even if you are
some genius who can pass it doing 0 work.
whereas newsgroup posts are not, u see? gaurav may as well have said : 'most decent universities
etc, don't accept your jacking off over porn as part of an offer' it makes as little sense.

I think there is a lot to be said for top posting, which I won't go into here, but if that's what
you all do here, I can accept that.
Look I'm bottom posting, happy?

Many departments in many universities *do* accept GS though. Some, I admit, don't, although replys
to previous threads leave us in no doubt that GS can be considered a tie-breaker or influence the
level of offer.
Say I want to apply to one of those departments in one ofthose universities that do. Your simplistic
response is misleading and, quite frankly, simplistic.
