We read from top to bottom and generally it makes more sense to read a question before the reply. Therefore it seems logical that any reply should be placed right below whatever question it is replying to. Top posting is when you put the reply above the questions and should be avoided. > - (no) snipping Snipping is to cut away anything that you do not reply to. One should include only as many quotations as is necessary to make the context clear. > - to hi-jack a thread To hijack a thread is when you reply to another post and change the subject when what you wanted to do was to create a new thread. Then the new post will appear to be a reply to the original thread when in fact it is not and if noone else replies to the original thread it certainly does serve to make the original poster feel overlooked. What you should do is just create a new message when you want to create a new thread. If you want to know more about netiquette you might want to have a look at [1]. Note that there are more useful links at the bottom of the page. [2] seems pretty good and brief too. I'm sure there are a lot of others. Google for it. :) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette [2] http://www.penmachine.com/techie/emailtrouble_2003-07.html -- Bo Andresen
