Why are you trying to enforce a non-existent rule: Friends: After discussion with the other list managers, we've decided to end our policy of asking that list members not "top post" their replies. That's the default behavior of most email clients, and just reminding people of our recommendation to "bottom post" or interleave your replies has become more trouble than its worth. From this point forward, top posting is no longer an issue. Dan Knight, list owner publisher, LowEndMac.com .....Dan Knight a while ago made this rule no longer a issue, I don't quite get why you're trying to reinforce it now. I don't think it's too wise to try and cross the list owner. -- Best Regards, John Musbach --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
