This get to my point: is it possible to ask EVERYONE to trim correctly? unlikely. See, though I always do trim, I still suffered from those who do not trim and use bottom-posting. If those who do not trim use top-posting, I'll not suffered from the poor trim, and I can do trim myself when I reply the message. > > Well, since no one could convice another, I'll stick to the "community > > rule". > That's the wrong attitude.

I feel you're talking friendly and for good. But due to my poor English proficiency I don't seem to catch what you said. The "community rule" in vim ML is to do bottom-posting, so I stick to the rule even if I don't accept it. What do you meant by "wrong attitude"? Do you mean I should insist my top-posting when I think it is right? PS: This Off-topic thread has been talked long and I'm sorry to bring excess load to vim mailing list, please mail directly to me if any vimmer friends wants to talk futher about it. Thanks. -- Sincerely, Pan, Shi Zhu. ext: 2606
