In article <vvgh4goo0e372b@corp.supernews.com>, but only after serious contemplation, Margolis <someone@somewhere.org> put finger to keyboard and produced the following; > >I don't mind top posting, as long as most of the extraneous garbage is >trimmed so that it is clear what you are replying to. It just makes it hard >to follow what someone is replying to when there is a lot of different >messages in a post, and some are top and some are bottom posts. But of >course that goes both ways, everybody should trim the parts of the post out >that they are not replying too. I half agree with you here. One of the problems with top-posting is that it encourages people to "forget" to snip - after all, everything off the bottom of the screen is someone else's problem ........... right? The (lost?) art of snipping is a separate (although often related) issue. -- Cheers, Chas. "Reality leaves a lot to the imagination".
