Traditionally this is what the phrase "bottom posting" meant, as a term of art, and is the key reason why those old "netiquette" guides recommend it. I guess the unexpressed nuances of such definitions get lost over time as people encounter them without the relevant context, though -- sort of like how the full in-context meaning of order= gets lost ;-). -n _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
