I think the problem he is really more bothered about is when some things are at the top and some things at the bottom plus bits put in the middle. After a while the result can get somewhat incoherent. Even while following a particular thread it can become difficult to follow the plot as a consequence. I think a little common sense is required here. While I (nowadays) prefer things to be bottom posted, I think it might be useful if one responds to a thread consistently and not mix top and bottom posting, (and edit out stuff which is not relevant to a response). With the focus on retaining some coherence rather than religiously applying a convention. I have noticed other respondents take the time to split replies on more complex queries into multiple more focussed comments, a practice I should think about adopting. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGX95UasN0sSnLmgIRAljNAKD5QTPsFMNox2hwprVFmMhhlwwRPACeJvmj oJwx8y56GqIUpT9h0uklIsE= =S3RI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
