"Standard," huh? It's called "Netiquette _Guidelines_." And I quote: "This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo does not specify an Internet _standard_ of any kind." (My emphasis.) And it's dated October 1995!! Ten years in this environment is a century or more anywhere else. Look, I would prefer that people behave well too (interpolated replies with judicious edits are better than un- or badly-edited top- or bottom-posted ones) but don't pretend that there's an effing rule about it! People will post as they do, and those of us who've been around since that RFC was issued will deal with it as we will. Apparently some of us will need to up the dose of BP medication. Patrick
