S>> ________________________________________________ S>> Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: S>> http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html <moderator> You're using the "top posting" reply format. It is called "top posting" because you let the quotes appear at the bottom and type your reply at the top. I personally loathe top-posting. It is a hangover from days when people didn't say much in email. The worst thing about it is that it forces people to scroll down and then back up to your response to find out what you're talking about. Please don't reply like that on this list. I also encourage you to wean yourself off it in your private correspondence too out of consideration to those who have to read your messages, but that's your choice. It only ever works when you don't have much to say and can trim the original text to tighter context so that the whole message can be read in one. As a result of top posting, your message includes all signatures and previous list footers of the message you are replying to - another no-no and this one is against the list rules. Please trim your replies. </moderator> - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62/Beta6 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0-nr2 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9sKx8OeQkq5KdzaARAqksAKD7PK2TsTFHgunCaJNUpTxJdFU8YwCg23R4 1ju+4yzTZdsPbWQw7OT73rM= =OcPo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
