What the crap.
Context. And not too much of it. As you've illustrated, top posting can be done skillfully and correctly. But most of the time it isn't; it's just easier to say don't top post 'cause most of the time top posting isn't appropriate. The fact that Greg was lazy and didn't trim is no argument against bottom posting. If anything, it's an argument against top posting. A person is more likely to remember to trim when bottom posting. /me slaps Greg with 30 wet noodles -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED], AIM:StuartMJansen> Programming in Java feels like C without the sense of accomplishment.
