Jim, Maybe it IS the correct way to do things, but it sure takes a lot of time to cut and paste in an email.... and I'm just not geared well to reading all the forward quotes. I get confused, and I lose the thread. In the world of modern email, you can highlight and color text, and then part of this issue goes away. Color helps. But I've been in MY part of the corporate world with top-posting for far too long to change my ways (hence, you will note, I am top-posting this response!)
Perhaps I should migrate over to a Canon mail list where they don't care how someone responds (just kidding, okay?) This really is a silly conversation. And it's a no-win argument. Neither side will win. Have a great evening, y'all. I will try to mend MY ways in this group, but not today.
