Now see I disagree, I've read the original message before so I don't need to read it again, I'd like the reply at the top. On the off chance that I do need to recheck something I can always scroll down...
Now, add on the fact that with top-posting the trail of emails makes more sense, ie. you see my name, you see my email, you see somebody else's name and their email etc. Finally frequently people repost the question and for whatever reason forget to post a reply. If everybody top-posted I wouldn't ever have to scroll through wondering if they'd done that. The one that gets me is when people don't post any of the post they're replying to so theres no context for their answers. -Curt Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 22:34:13 -0600 From: Craig McCluskey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] de-rusting To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII On Wed, 23 Aug 2006 09:05:04 +0500 "M.Afzaal.Khan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A fellow lister had mentioned pouring coke to derust a frozen piston > assembly, considering the fact that sodas are made from phosphoric > acid as one of the major ingredient/constituent; it should work . any > thoughts, caveats? > mak > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jim Cathey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Mercedes Discussion List" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 9:44 PM > Subject: Re: [MBZ] 201 status That was Jim Cathey, whose email you replied to.
