I must admit I live in perpetual fear of forgetting to switch of html or rtf formatting (useful for work) and top posting. I can understand the issue with the former but can see absolutely no reason why top posting is such a problem. In fact I'd far prefer it. I get to my e-mail in batches and bottom posting means I've got to wade through stuff I've just read. I totally agree with snipping extensively.
So that I can understand the almost religious fervour on this point could someone please explain to me why top posting is so hated!! I can understand that if you are responding to multiple points in an e-mail then you should reply below each point snipping out what is irrelevant to your reply in the original e-mail. If you're responding to an entire e-mail then the proper approach to my mind would to do as you would in business letters and start with a short paragraph explaining what you're doing (e.g. "In response to Fred's e-mail about AMD MP motherboards and interrupts, ...". I guess most of us are too lazy to do this so we just leave the original text in the e-mail. If we're really lazy we don't snip the irrelevant stuff out. Am I missing something totally?! I'm just about to go and get my flak jacket and helmet in anticipation of the responses. :) Regards, George _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
