Top posting annoys me as I tend to read emails from the top and work down the page ;-) More annoying is failing to snip messages where you don't need to leave in the original text. On this list its a fairly safe bet that people have read the previous message so there is no need to leave most of the original text is many cases. Most annoying of all to me is mixed bottom and top posting where nothing is snipped and different people add comments at the top and bottom of a thread depending on their personal preference so you have little chance of working out the order of comments. Re the Blackberry does it not allow you to scroll down through the text and/or use the delete key? Very odd. I sometimes send email via a Nokia phone which by default top posts replies and its annoying to have to scroll to the end of the text and then delete it but I still do it. Steve
