Please dont change your ways on my accord.I was replying Dale's message, :)Um did you not read my previous message? Obviously not, mate... I agree with you on the HTML, gmail enabled it by default. I disabled it after you pointed it out, so thank you.I did, and as said before, I was replying Dale's message.Quite honestly top, middle or bottom posting all seems indifferent to me. Correct me if I am wrong here but I thought the information was the important part of the message not whether it is located at the top or at the bottom? Hmmm guess I was wrong, I now be more considerate and concern myself with the layout of my messages rather then helping people. In the interests of keeping you happy and god forbid all other people who are more concerned with layout happy I will cease my evil ways of top posting.You see, you've just shown an example of the problem top posting could've caused, you weren't even aware that I was replying Dale's message. Let me put things this way: 1. Starting a flame wasn't what was intended, I was merely trying to tell you that it is considered by most people, not just me, that HTML and top-posting should be avoided. 2. I do help people if I can, whether they top-post and HTML or not. 3. The information is important, so don't let how it's presentated ruin it. As I've said earlier, many people still use command line for their emails, when you ask for help or propose a wonderful idea through a HTML message, it just make us feel isolated, :P, simply because our client can't parse HTML. Furthermore, HTML messages could cause security issuses. Personally, i think it is natural, for others who want to know a thread is about to starting from the OP, then go down to see the replies, isn't it? And top-posting will force them to start from the bottom. Eeew, bottom, :P I don't know where you get the idea that being considerate in a list will stop you from helping people or getting helps. :) It does just the opposite. -- Joe -- There are 3 kinds of people in the world: Those who can count, and those who can't. Money can't buy everything. Sometimes money can't even buy a gun... It was there but I get so much mail that it is hard to keep up with, plus I'm doing several other things too. I'm not just talking about spam either. I'm on about 20 forums, several lists etc etc etc. Add in that my Mozilla is doing some strange stuff with the order in my box. I'm not sure what is going on. Sometimes I get mail that is old compared to what I already have. Maybe it's my ISP's mailserver or something. < shrugs > You have a point but I'm not the only one that top posts. Like I said earlier we need one way that everybody has to use so everybody knows what to expect. Imagine getting in a car and having the brake and gas pedal switched. I can get used to either way myself. We are NOT flaming. I find it funny in a way. Others may flame, I'm not. I state my views and carry on. My girlfriend likes that too. She knows she can tell me anything and I'm OK as long as she is not hurt or threatened, then someone else has a problem, about 160 lbs of kick butt I might add. I'm super protective when it comes to her. She only weighs about 95 lbs. O_O She's eats good though. Her daughter is slender too. Hope you don't think I'm mad. I'm to busy laughing. LOL Hope you aren't either. Dale |
