I'm glad that you've figured out how to quote the message that you are replying to. Now, I'd like to ask you to delete most of the message you are replying to, leaving enough to establish context for your remarks. I would also suggest that you post your comments AFTER the material that you quote. It make a difference if there is more than one point that you would like to reply to, as I do in this reply. It also makes a difference if someone would like to reply to more than one thing in your post. Also, when top posting, it is easy to forget to trim the message that you are replying to. > On Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:02:14 +0000, Pommier, Rex R. > <rex.pomm...@cnasurety.com> wrote: >> >>I see your point, but have a request for you.

I left it in to illustrate the point of the need to delete those parts of the post that are not relevant to your reply. Perhaps you can also see why bottom posting is better. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
