If you're gonna top post (which argument I concede just isn't

copies of the LEM footers! Your reply, three lines, contained no less
than FOUR copies of the thing. That's a signal to noise ration of
3:100...

This is the sig who says 'Ni!'
First off sorry, Apple Mail automatically tries to top post. If you
check other replies I usually cut out all that stuff, sometimes I
forget.
With that said I didn't know what netiquette one uses on these mailing
lists, I was afraid to ask because I caught the tail end of the last
argument. I don't care who thinks they are right or wrong I just want
an answer. I thought maybe top posting was correct since others do it
and it was default in Apple Mail. either way I am not arguing, I just
want to know what's best.
Another thing, I get sick of all the whining from listers. Look, if
you are going to critique me on something as meaningless as this at
least do it in a nice way. I'd say you meant nothing but it takes
thought and effort to CAPITALIZE a word. Therefor I figured you were
more angry than just telling me to stop.
Again sorry,
Mike

Mike, you did read this when you signed up didn't you?

Just kidding, most people don't take the time to read it, but these are
the simple guidelines that Dan has set up for this and other LEM lists.
I don't believe it addresses the top/bottom posting issue (no I didn't
read it all either), but I've been on a number of lists and most say
bottom posting is the proper way to do it. I don't think anyone on
this list really cares so much, just as long as replies are trimmed of
the excessive unnecessary garbage that no one wants to read over and
over and over... You get the picture!
Just a message from Doug...
