Re: Home firewall with DLink router FreeBSD
Please excuse me. I typed my reply below all the existing text but somehow it ended up being formatted into the middle of this one. Can someone give me the tip for insuring I don't top post and that my reply ends up at the bottom of the e-mail? From: Bill Tillman btillma...@yahoo.com To: Leonardo M.

Hi, at home I have a DLink Dir 300 router to provide internet access for my home network.

In any case, you could just delete all but a few lines of the original text and try placing your reply below that. Including 50+ lines of old text, especially text that has been replied to several times is more than slightly redundant; it borders on insane. Yet, unfortunately, it is done all the time. -- Jerry ✌ jerry+f...@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies, ignored or reported as Spam. Do not CC this poster.
