And for your bottom posters, you can scroll down to the bottom and read my reply <G> Daniel Wysocki Twin*.*Computers Fast Reliable Wallet-Friendly ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Poremsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2005 4:32 PM Subject: Re: About quoting in general...

In the business world (which MSFT caters to) you don't really need to quote at all, but top posting allows users to read mail faster and have the original if they need to refresh their memory - they don't have to look up the original. Many businesses request that messages not be trimmed unless the topic changes, so there is a complete history of the conversation in the message. Top posting makes this less annoying, as you don't have to scroll. Bottom posting was the only way with old text based systems as the screen scrolled down - it was difficult to scroll back up - bottom posting is less useful in modern email clients. -- ---------------------------------------- I ditto that, Diane -- ---------------------------------------- The WIN-HOME mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
