[Elecraft] Top Posting is the official standard for the Elecraft List

[Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft]

Top posting is the official standard for this list, and its especially
important for those of us who also read our email on Android PDA phones, 
iPads etc. Scrolling though a long thread before getting to the reply 
text is time consuming on these devices.


Reading the response first, at the top, is a huge time saver, especially 
when you have to read hundreds of emails daily as we do here. We really 
appreciate your adherence to this.


Please also delete -all- footers and as much of the prior email text as 
possible when replying to cut down on overall email size.

Top posting is the official standard for this list, and its especially
important for those of us who also read our email on PDA phones. (I'm
using the Motorola Droid and a new iPad to read email while away from my 
office PC ..)

Reading the response first, at the top, is a huge time saver, especially

Re: [Elecraft] Top Posting is the official standard for the Elecraft list

[David Woolley (E.L)]

In that case, could I suggest you remove the requirement to trim replies 
from your posting guidelines, as, in my experience, top posters will 
never trim replies.  It is the process of doing a proper interleaved 
reply that leads to trimming.  The real problem in the example that 
triggered this thread was over-quoting and failing to interleave point 
by point - pure bottom posting is also bad, although posting at the 
bottom because everything else after the post has bee trimmed out, is 
good.  (Note that I read the digest on Thunderbird, and the lack of 
trimming is very annoying, as I have to page through the back thread, as 
well as the general increase in bandwidth and mail folder disk space.)

Are there really no PDA email clients that follow the ancient technique 
of hiding lines beginning in ">"?

Bad practice, like not trimming replies, quoting after ones own 
signature separator, and, in particular, not trimming signatures, 
follows.  I.E. this is formatted according to de facto top posting rules.
