For me, cutting away parts of text I'm not replying to and editing my comments below the ones I am commenting doesn't take any appreciable amount of time - indeed it happens more or less as fast as thinking about what to say. (If I had to move my hand to the mouse to cut or something equally time-consuming I'd probably agree with you.) > I'm just not geared well to reading all the forward quotes.

Anyway, bottom-posting is worse than top-posting if you really must quote the entire message you're replying to. But I'd recommend leaving the original out altogether if you don't have time to edit it to leave just the points you are referring to. -- Tapani Tarvainen * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
