Aaaargh. Whenever I see a thread about "Top posting or bottom posting?" it makes me want to shout out NEITHER!!! Both of them are a stupid and senseless waste of bandwidth. The only sensible quoting method is to quote as *little* of the original as necessary to establish context. Anyone who refuses to take the time to do this is being selfish and lazy. -- Greg
