Yep, with a large amount of that being from narcissists that just *have* to get their jokes or jibes in and can't either ignore him or, better yet, just hit delete. > What can we do?

Again, though, it's been mostly from folks that want to get in their snide comments or make themselves look good with their jabs and pokes; the signal level would again go up if they'd let it rest and just hit delete. > We have the freedom to ban him from your inboxes. Let's do it! Like I said, kill-file. It really does work. Seriously, Jan, I do understand where you're coming from but banning account after account does no good in a world of unlimited email accounts. What *does* work is to let someone post at will and simply ignoring what you don't want to reply to. The problem isn't that we have one person that posts a ton of crud, it's that we have one person that posts and fifty that insist on commenting about how it's crud - and then continue to harp about how that single poster needs to go away when he replies to each of them. kmw -- A: Maybe because some people are too annoyed by top-posting. Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)? A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
