As a top-poster, I routinely delete all legal notices. Those are someone else's problem. I also delete the IBM-Main boiler plate (unless I forget). I do not attempt to decide what's relevant and what's not. Again, someone else's problem. I also try to reply to the latest post in a thread even though I may refer to points made in earlier posts.
Keeping up with IBM-Main on a timely basis is hard enough without having to play data miner and editor as well as compose one's own contribution. . . .

What makes it even more fun is when some of us top post and others bottom post - like I'm doing here. :-) If I do post something to a chain that has any length to it, I try to follow the convention of the chain as well as deleting irrelevant information.

And BTW, doing so more or less defeats the main alleged benefit of bottom-posting (I realize the irony that this reply is bottom-posted). -- Regards, Gord Tomlin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
