Please don't take this too hard, but it seems like you haven't been in the "game" long enough to understand _why_ there are rules on how one should keep an discussion going. There are _way_ too many _good_ reasons why one should _not_ top post. I don't bother repeating them, as a quick search on Google will give you the obvious answers. > This is not a news group.

Please explain _why_ you have to "remember how to send a message". Is it like this when you speak with different persons, too? You have to remember to speak differently to one of them? > My company uses outlook. Too bad. There have been times in the past when I was forced to use that "software", but I still managed to follow the rules; I just deleted the crap Outlook inserted in my replies, moved to the end of the message and then wrote my reply. > You would think that the world was going to end because somebody was > upset they didn't get to scroll through 500 posts. Quoting is a nice thing. It's a thing top posters don't care about, though; One should only keep what's relevant from the original post when replying to one. That way you _don't_ have to scroll past that many posts to find out what the thread is all about. -- Tore Aursand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
