Fully concur!

I noticed Steve's top posting right away and was happy to see Roelof
point out the list rules to him. (Wish I could share with him the PM
exchange I had with Marck, who sent me the same Moderator's reprimand,
when I first posted to TBUDL in October, 2002.)

I came to see how much more enjoyable trimmed quoting and posting
below the relevant quote really is.

NB, to Steve: This elucidation of list rules should have been
available to you in your Welcome message. And, I didn't say anything
at the time I replied to you, because I knew that one of the Mods
would soon communicate with you about it.

I think it's not just a few on this list who like this way better. I
think there'd be a great outcry if Top Posting and Untrimmed Quotes
were allowed.

Those new to the list--including myself when I was a newcomer--don't
always understand at first. Most of them do come to understand.

And, Those Are the Rules, so members try to abide by them. :rulez:
:)
