I generally do not get involved in this kind of discussion but I think some of the newer members are simply not bothering to read the posting (formatting in this case) guidelines and follow them. [1] The point of interleaved posting: the reader should be able to understand the context of what was said and the response to it without having to sieve through the entire thread and figure it out. Imagine every member expending that kind of time! > Sometimes the content matters than the format, No one does this > deliberately. Please try to understand. Content and format *both* matter. Agreed, it may not be deliberate but the author must talk the language that his/her audience understands otherwise many put him/her in the "kill/trash" filter see [1]. > Even still if you cant stop. Please send a similar mail as a weekly > digest ;) The tragedy is that members keep repeating the same mistake or choose to ignore guidelines even after being told. After some time people start ignoring posts from such individuals.
