Etiquette or not, I prefer to pick my nose in expensive restaurants - but I don't, because that's how society works, and like it or not, I'm a part of that society. It's the same reason I don't say "10-4 good buddy!" on ham radio. > the subject and my memory are usually sufficient to tell me what I need > to know about the prior information. I receive anywhere from 500 to 1000 emails a day. The subject and my memory are often not sufficient. A *short, trimmed* quote above the new comments does a very good job of putting things in context. This is especially true in an active discussion, where there are lots of replies, and replies to replies, etc. It can quickly become very confusing to know exactly who and what someone is replying to if they top post. > Scrolling down to find the latest response is a waste of time IMHO. Scrolling down (having to search for the right spot), then reading downwards, then scrolling back up a bit (having to search for the right spot again), and reading downwards again, then scrolling back up a bit (having to search for the right spot), and reading downwards, etc... is a bigger waste of time, not to mention being a pain. > For my part, please put your response at the beginning. Sorry, I will continue to bottom post - as I should. -- 73, Brian VE7NGR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
