I'm with Skip here. And while we're at it, why do companies/people still insist on putting out these idiotic "legal notices" which seem to hold no relevance in law anywhere, or any relevance to anything.
It's just 'noise'! (And clutters up emails!)

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
