Well, you youngsters have it wrong. <grin> It used to -be- proper etiquette to quote at the top, both for usenet and email. The reason: our connections were a lot slower and we could read the messages as they streamed by, cancelling a download if we saw enough. I agree about the HTML, proper quoting, etc. but quote-location is sort of like code indentation - minor religions. _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
