I agree with your "rude" assessment. I am old enough to remember when all replies were placed "below" in email, and I remember struggling through the changes when changes were made so that replies went out on top, but now replies "above" the text seems to be more common. For this list, I personally don't care which way it is done, as long as we have a standard so that we can encourage uniformity. I find it difficult to read entries here that have both "above" and "below" replies mixed. For now, I'm trying to follow the lead of the post; if it's below, I post below; if it's above, I post above. -- _________________________________ Richard Losey [email protected] Micah 6:8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
