Re: Re: reminder on rules of posting

[Guest guest]

As an early IBM PC 8086, and Amiga user, using Agent mail client since the early

days, bottom posting is the correct Protocol & Etiquette for logical reasons.

See:

http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html

It forces the reader to think, and clean up the original message, leaving only

the relevant portion to the reply on top, and the answer below.

Top posters usually reply on the spur of no moment. Top posting is acceptable

IF the reply is 1-3 lines, and the original message truncated to fit one

'screenful'. However, this is usually never the case, so to be on courteous

side, clean the message, bottom post AND sign!

FURTHERMORE, all upper case is not acceptable - not because it is 'shouting',

but because it is very hard to read if the paragraph is more than 3-4 lines.

Upper case, is for the AOL members, and those on a Commodore 64.

Duh! This is what happens when I do not use my mail client.
