Many people have requested: CAN YOU PLEASE STOP TOP-POSTING. This means "please stop writing your reply at the top of the message". On a mailing list, it is polite to trim replies for context, just keep the essential information like I have done above, so that it is like a conversation, and reply underneath. This is named "interleaved style". Explained here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Choosing_the_proper_posting_style https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Trimming_and_reformatting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#How_much_to_trim top-posting is default behavior of yahoo mail. i don't know why it's inconvenient for some list users. wikipedia.org is blocked in china. i've just installed buster to the problem diski have no problem this timeit's still mystery to me why it failed so many times in the past. Thanks to all that reply and help!
