Hi :) Look, the interspersed answers from Larry are practically unidentifiable from the message. By posting at the top (or bottom) it would have been clearer which were your answers.
Sometimes interspersing becomes possible if i notice the other persons response is in a different colour but in plain text it just doesn't work without good spacing. From the 1st discernible answer i clearly wasn't missing much this time tho! Normally i think sure rudeness should not be answered at all.

You continually do not show the proper attribution in the posts you reply to. You have not countered this in any post. This has been mentioned many times but you refuse to correct your email client behaviour. > Besides it doesn't matter how strong the argument against top-posting might > be.

How would support givers properly interspersing and trimming their replies keep office workers from using LibreOffice? How would properly interspersing a reply to their questions alienate them? > Betamax was a better format than VHS but it lost the battle for acceptance > and now the argument is irrelevant anyway.

How is the request to people giving support to properly intersperse and trim have anything to do with getting people to use LibreOffice? -- _________________________________ Larry I.
