I despair of saying this.
Please bottom-post your replies (i.e. beneath the text that you are quoting.)
Top-posting is fine for a short thread, but it gets to be an unintelligible mess
if there are several replies.
Bottom-posting is the standard for this list.
I don't mean to sound disrespectful since you're far more helpful to
this list than I am -- so, I mean this in the nicest possible way, but I
genuinely would like to know -- where does it say that bottom-posting is
the "standard for this list"? I noticed you (and only you) have said
this a few times in the last month and I'm sure you're also getting
tired of reminding people... However, what was a request is now
stronger as you're saying it's a standard?
I looked a bit for some etiquette list for this mailing list and
couldn't find out. Perhaps it's out there somewhere?
BTW, I will admit that bottom-posting (with removal of very old text)
looks better than top-posting...a practice which I haven't fully
adopted. So, I don't disagree with you...just the fact that you said it
was "standard" caught my attention... Thanks!
Ray
