,------/ Here's the rule for THIS list: \------
e. If you reply to a list post: trim! Delete most of the original
post except the important aspects. What we're getting at here
is that you don't hit reply to a four paragraph question, type
your response at the top and hit send. Try to cut out as much
as possible while retaining the general gist of the original
message. While we're here, this list frowns on the practice of
'top posting'. Please use in-line responses - it makes the
whole experience more conversational:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
} Someone makes this point.. [..snip]
A reply is made with this response.
}} A point made two messages back [..snip]
} and this was said to make someone think
Which leads to this summary.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Top posting turns conversations upside down and makes them
hard to follow:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terrible
} How does it smell?
}} My dog's got no nose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`------\ End /------
AG> This is the ONLY list I am subscribed to that insists on bottom
AG> posting.
It does not. It disapproves both top and bottom posting as shown
above.
Please do not respond to moderator posts on list, although I welcome
the opportunity to clarify the actual rules, so, thank you. :)
