This was posted in error. Bottom posting is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED, along
with selective trimming. Top posting will not get you banned or
moderated.

HOWEVER, many of the more active/ knowledgeable members adhere to
bottom posting/ selective trimming etiquette and on more than one
occasion have mentioned (on or off list) "If they are not willing to
take the 3-5 seconds to bottom post and trim, why should I take 3-5
minutes to help them out".

It makes email list threads much easier to read. If you examine some
of the longer threads we have had here lately, you will see how hard
to read a thread/ long message with a lot of previous top/bottom
posting, along with trying to figure out who said what.

So, PLEASE folks, TRY and bottom post and trim out non-relevant
portions. But there is no firing squad or banishment for violators.

Also, just a reminder, do not post attachments to the list.

Thanks,
Len Gerstel
