You mean like this? :-) I did not think the US had made a standard for email reply, yet. But IMHO point by point replies are the most efficient way of responding. What use is having an answer before a question. > it has been the custom in a thread to add your comments to > the top of the email, that way people know what you are > adding to the thread, they also have a history of what has > been said because each person adds to the original conversation, Only for those people already following or familiar with the thread. Or for people using a threaded view of the topic. For anyone else it is hard to read when the answer appears before the question. > I notice many of you go through the email reformatting what > has previously been said and intermixing your replies Most efficient way to format responses to individual answers. > the goal of communication is shared meaning, why is it > everyone always tries to change the way we communicate? is > the standard way really that bad? I have always answered this way. > if you respond, there is no need to write a novel, KISS Others can write the novel, I have just responded with my $0.02 worth > BTW, I did not edit anything, just hit the reply button, look > what has happened to the thread Nope, but if I had grouped all my responses in one lump of text at the top, anyone else other than you, reading this thread, would have to first scroll down to read the question and then back to the top to read the response and so on. Might just be me, but I prefer it like this, as my eyes are getting too old to play 'ping pong' with messages that I have to page up/page down the screen to scroll around to read. I like to have it all in front of me or in a logical order, Q/A In any event, should I be in need of help, I will always be extremely grateful for any response I receive, regardless of how it is formatted as the content is more important than its aesthetic appearance or any single users perception of proper etiquette.
