(top posted)Often that works, Sam. When it's a simple dialogue over one issue, then sure, top posting works. Where insertion-posting works better is when replying to individual paragraphs or sections separately. I have been known to write very long emails, as have some of my correspondents... and this way the specific points are answered in situ.
The Microsoft approach seems more consistent with the twitter world, where brief thoughts and short attention spans rule. I'm the overly-verbose one whose TMCnet column rarely goes below 2500 words, even though they're probably prefer 800 or less.

When I originally read Cameron's post, I did not see what he wrote below it about "But you can build two yagis ..."Actually, I wrote that in response. But you might not notice that.I wonder how it displays in different mail readers, though. I'm using Eudora 7.1.0.9 for Windows, the last edition, from 2006, which follows de facto standards for quote marks. So each level of quote has one more vertical bar showing on the left in its own reader, and I think one more ">" in some readers or the plain text of the mail. But LookOut! and I am guessing Windows Mail apparently ignores it and makes the quoted text look the same as the inserted text, so readers can't tell which is which. This screws up dialog badly. Hence it encourages top posting:A. Because it messes up the flow of the dialogue. Q. Why is top posting bad?Scottie Arnett President Info-Ed, Inc.

Like the 120 degree sectors are more like 90 degree? Is this true? is it true for all unlicensed bands? In my situation, I would really like to see a dual polarized 900 Mhz yagi, if it is even possible. We have many hills in our area, and we are trying to get more bandwidth to our customers. We have been/are using Canopy, but have some test units setup to try Ubiquiti for more bandwidth. Many consumers do not like the dish/loco Ubiquiti has, and we tried the panels from ITElite and most are not satisfied with the aesthetics of them also.Scottie Arnett President Info-Ed, Inc.
