I think the bigger problem is when a few people do it one way and everyone else does it another way. The consensus on this list has been time after time, "bottom-posting". Nothing is harder to read or interpret who said what than when a couple "top-posts" and everyone else "bottom-posts". Also, as Greg (groggy)'s e-mail demonstrates, "bottom-posting" fits well with the philosophy of answering each question one by one as you flow down the message. e.g.: > Question 1 Answer 1 > Question 2 Answer 2 This is not possible (or not as clear) with "top-posting". _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
