How to put this, how to put this .... No. No indeed. In fact there are times when top-posting is appropriate, but mailing lists and Usenet are NOT on that list. In either case, you can't assume that everyone reading the message (including people reading an archived copy on the Web two years later) has read the whole thread and doesn't need context. Note that bottom-posting most definitely requires quote-trimming, as others have said and demonstrated. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabootu's Minister of Proofreading http://www.jabootu.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
