Just because I have 'done' top posting doesn't mean I always do. And where did I say my laziness was more important? A much kinder list member sent me a message pointing out that list conversations follow different guidelines then personal conversations. I was using my wife as an example that intermingling quotes isn't that obvious to everyone. I was making statements about top posting in general. I now realize that perhaps I should of marked my message as [OT] to make that clearer for some individuals that the comments in the message may not directly correlate to the list. Now back to my 'can a tool help'. Some mail clients warn you when you send a message with no subject. Why not add a similar feature for top posting? If there is a List-Id header and there's new text at the top of the message, warn the user! > Please be nice, and > please play nicely with the other children in this sandbox. > Thanks, > Paul Heed your own advice. As far as I know I haven't been kicking any sand at anyone. :-) Oh, your .sig is 2 lines over *guideline* recommendations (I'm referring to your later message). ;-) -- Jeff Macdonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
