I can understand this bothers you, since many people consider it a point of courtesy. After all, the whole purpose of responding in-line or after another post is to make it easier to understand each other and to communicate within an accepted set of rules that makes it easier for ALL of us to understand each post. With that being said, and realizing that with a .de domain, you are probably using English as a second language, one could ask that you make an effort to use proper style, such as writing in complete sentences, capitalizing the beginning of your sentences, and completing your sentences. After all, such practices are standard in German as well as English, so it would be appropriate to follow such rules in order to make it easier for all of us to understand what you are saying. My point (with all do respect and no insult intended): You may not like top posting, but all of us on the 'net, even in technical groups like this, are dealing more and more with newcomers to the Internet. We can try to educate them, but things are changing. Maybe instead of judging others and expecting everyone to conform, we should *ALL* keep an open mind, otherwise we might find others are being as judgemental of us as we are of others.
