Were it me replying to what I said previously, I would have cut my message down and presented your response as follows: DEMONSTRATION: > Actually, the correct thing to do is to cut the previous message down to the > essential part that you are replying to, then enter your reply. > You can then add your comments either in-line or at the bottom and your > message > will then make sense to everyone I disagree that bottom posting is "correct". It is merely a matter of preference, sometimes strong preference..... And the rest of your response as you originally posted it. END OF DEMONSTRATION See? Cutting it that way retains the basic meaning, intent and focus of the previous message without repeating the whole thing and wasting a lot of everyone's time and bandwidth downloading redundant data. Your reply would be completely in context and understandable by everyone who reads the message either in-line or individually. A few moments of consideration given to how to edit someone's message to retain the gist of what you're replying to also helps you to organize your thoughts and insure that your reply covers the points that you intend it to cover, as well. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
