-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Miguel,
@10 August 2002, 11:46 +0200 (10:46 UK time) Miguel A. Urech [MAU] in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck D Pearlstone: MAU> I find top quoting (or is it top posting, It's really "top posting" - posting at the top of the message. MAU> I'm never sure which is what) much easier to read because I can MAU> start reading from the very top, And, with the sheer amount of mail I get, I find the opposite to be true. Sure, I see the response immediately, but nine times out of ten it has no meaning to me. It is merely a cryptic, out of context isolated paragraph at the top and I have to scroll down to peer myopically at a light grey italic version of the entire original message just to find out what on earth the top bit is a "thanks, that worked" about. As long as trimming and minimal context is employed top posted replies can *never* be better than in-line. That's all there is to it. I have never yet seen an answer to make me change my mind on that topic. Bottom posting with full quotes is, of course, nearly as a bad as top posting, but this remains ever true: Terrible > how does it smell? >> My dog has no nose. does not work and never will! - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62/Beta1 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.1.90-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9VOssOeQkq5KdzaARAtgGAJ43zuyclOJylPyCEkCxwAO02p7gYgCgx2UG CoQlsWakZpHD9CI4a+G8Q3c= =kygC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
