If someone wants to review it, it's in the archives. Then if I comment on two or more points in a message, I put my comments proximate to the relevant quoted material. Often, if I'm replying to multiple plies, I'll copy and paste them together and post a single reply, rather than several. I don't believe it's hard to read, especially if I trim thoroughly, and more important as a colleague observes, it matches the flow of normal verbal communication. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
