Well, if you need more than just *bold*, /italics/ or _underline_. It might make a text easier to read, if important things are highlighted or whatnot. Also, links can be done nicer; eg. a long URL should be linked, but the *TARGET* isn't important but just what's written there. Eg. <a href="http://google.com/";>searchengine</a> or something like that. > ps. since stopping top-posting on lists I have since stopped top-posting > *anywhere*.

Actually, I think that this top posting junk only came up, because a "certain" piece of crap from Microsoft didn't support threading for FAR too long. And without threading, fullquotes are somewhat helpful (and top posts most of the time include a full quote). Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
