It is also customary to limit your quoting to the minimum possible to get your point across. Take the time to be considerate, remember those subscribers who have slow, expensive connections." IIRC for some time the guidelines explicitly stated that bottom posting was preferred. I think if you look at the links on that page the reason for that is expounded. Generally, the consensus by ML gurus is that one liners should be top-posted and longer replies interspered or bottom posted. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
