>>>Why is top posting not allowed?
We quote a line or two from the previous post, as a reference, to make things easier to read, and then post our response *below* that. It is email netiquette to do it this way. When we all do it the same way, we have consistency, and it makes the messages, digests, and archives easier to read. We receive so many compliments on this family of lists because of the ease of reading, neatness, and searchability of the archives. (Which reminds me, I need to ask Skye to take out her signature because if we try to do a search for "founder", it pulls up all of her posts, and not the posts on the topic of founder :-() Other lists may not have posting guidelines, but basically they are chit-chat lists and not educational lists, so no need to have things nice and neat and clean and searchable.
