Passive FTP ... ) Wait - is bottom-posting a thing? I've always assumed that bottom-posters are just careless; they read down to a certain point, and then type in their responses without thinking about where.

Why, for heaven's sake? --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Winning isn't everything, but then losing is nothing. */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Charles Mills Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2020 13:21 What is it with tech bulletin boards and the fuss about top-posting? I will bet I have gotten tens of thousands of business e-mail replies in my life and every single one of them was "top-posted."

Does it prohibit editing quoted text, heaps of legal disclaimers and all? --- On Sat, 13 Jun 2020 13:17:11 +0000, Jackson, Rob wrote: >My cruddy email application (Outlook) doesn't do the >-style quoting (or at >least I don't know how to make it), so let me try below with tabs; it will >probably be ugly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
