Well, Google with Gmail certainly aren't helping. I also thoroughly loathe answers in the form "my response in green below", where the Outlook users have tried to answer each point in turn, but failed in the point that Outlook doesn't make this easy for the rest of us. Usually, top posting is a sign that the poster might as well not have quoted the original text at all, since the quoted text rarely aids in understanding. I agree, though, that complaining publicly on a mailing list regarding one part's choice of quoting or not usually is bad netiquette. -- Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
