You do not have to think that you are sounding rude or have to apologize by expressing your views. This is internet. Even a dog has a opinion here. haha! :) > But since we are in google group we dont need to use usenet standard. If you > top post you message then google will hide the reply and you see it easily. True :) But it helps poor souls like us who do not use Google groups and uses a mail client. All in all, it helps tremendously to bring context out of the topic the mail addresses and shows the reader that you are discussing on topic as well. Otherwise, I do not think top posting is voilating the discussiong principle so its fine with lot of users. All in all I believe, making contextual replies to a discussion (like the one I have used above) is more important than top-posting or bottom-posting. -- Cheers, Bikal. GPG: 0D8EAFB6
