That's only an issue when people quote more than they have to. Good quoting guidelines: 1. Place your replies directly below the text that you're referring to. 2. Quote only that which is necessary - keep quotes short, and abbreviate them (e.g. using [...]) if necessary. Personally, most of the time, I don't even bother to read discussions where people use top-quoting. It's a waste of time, since often it's very hard to guess to what text passages the author of a posting is referring to. Sure, he could include references to those in his message, but with good quoting he doesn't have to. -- Dipl.-Phys. Felix E.
