top posting with full context below is the best form in all mail exchanges where the mails are not archived - interleaved posting in a mail exchange where 2 or more people are participating quickly winds up as an ungodly mess. > It's nice to see a 'thread' by those kind of people where the size of > mail increases with each message since they requote the whole thing. yes - a 50 message thread where the 1st message is repeated 49 times, the second 48 times and so on. This adds to the garbage on the internet - especially when the mailing list has 10000 members and contributes to global warming. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate NRC-FOSS http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
