Right, but it's been a recent trend on this group to have very very long convos quoted, this didn't happen in this instance (so I was incorrect :-), but in any case, I'm guessing the poster just hit a reply and replied to the most recent message, not following the logical flow of conversation, hoping the previous mail was somewhere up in the quoted text.. >> and dumps you at the end of it > > Not with any e-mail client I've ever used...when you go into the editor > for your reply, you start at the top (headers) and move down to trim the > quoted text and add your reply. > > But then, at this point, we're getting WAY off-topic here...and I'm about > to go to bed for a few hours of sleep, so.... > I should have clarified, I didn't mean the editor physically dumps you at the end of the email, it dumps you at the end of it logically. In general top posting used to be a "really bad thing," but it seems to have become more acceptable these days, or maybe it's just that people are becoming a bit less edgy than they were back in the older newsgroup days.. kris -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
