Or perhaps top posting should be described "the way most of the world does it despite being constantly chivvied by old timers on the internet that bottom posting is the only way." - that tells me something :) Live and let live and get on with your life, be tollerant. Actually, a far far greater sin is not trimming messages - I admit I rarely read a bottom posted messages that scroll off the screen before they get to the reply - wasted! Actually, maybe bottom posters should just do that, not bother reading top posts? And I am bottom posting because thats the way it was already organised. :) BillK _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
