If folks, when they reply, practiced the following rule in <http://pcworkers.com/rules.htm>, IMO there would be much less conflict between Top Posters and Bottom Posters: "When replying to a post, please remove extraneous text. This is THE most often disregarded rule. It's really simple: just cut out all header information, leaving only the REALLY IMPORTANT information intact. You should include only enough of the original message so that a person who did not read the original, will have an idea of what you are talking about. Removal of the footer {sometimes called a trailer or tag line} when replying is REQUIRED." Karl ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
