I agree, and I would never argue that top-posting is never appropriate, but I submit that for an email discussion list with archives and especially with digests where people routinely top-post, that little if anything would be lost and much would be gained if every post were stripped of all the quotes. Part of the problem is MUAs that default to top posting over a quote of the entire message being replied to, and the users of those MUA's don't even know it's happening because they never read past the first signature. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
