From what I've seen, usually the technical people that want to discuss a serious topic in email do the standard, correct order, sequence. They'll snip, do in-line responses, etc. It's usually the rather "techno-challenged" folks (in the office anyway) that seem to thrive on top-posting. Some of the higher ups tend to think in "top-posting" because they expect immediate responses - so in their mind the thread is fresh. -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
