Hmm, tell that to the likes of Dan C in alt.os.linux.slackware, who b*tch*s about people like you whose posts contain *two* sets of sig-dashes; yours, and the list's. Notice, slrn helpfully made your sig part of the body, trimming the list's. :-) I wish it would trim those extra exclamation marks too. This problem is an education issue, no more. Developers/implementors ought to learn about what they're doing before they do it, shouldn't be arrogant about *knowing* they have a better way, and the rest of us need to tolerate and nudge infringers toward the One True Way. Or, at least I think that's how it's supposed to work. On the other hand, there's a world full of Windows users out there who know that top-posting is the right way to reply. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
