At least that's my experience: top posters almost always include the original message complete, without any trimming, whereas bottom-posters mostly trim it at least somewhat (exceptions being mainly habitual top-posters trying conform to mailing list rules or to demonstrate how ugly bottom-posting is). And that's really what most bothers me in top-posting: it seems to encourage excessive quoting. But perhaps it's just a coincidence. -- Tapani Tarvainen * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
