Yeah me too. I don't give a damn about top posting. Parsing bits of text is done with relatively little horse power by my relatively few gray cells. I've read the stuff about top-posting and bottom-posting - for me it doesn't matter, if the mail is in a language that I can understand, it is fine. Many people on this mail can't read Tamil(safe assumption), they get some mails from the list - these are either read, tolerated or ignored. And I remember someone pleading with these guys not to send out Tamil mails since he is seeing these strange "boxes" due to lack of fonts! If you send a "DONT POST TAMIL MAILS" (I'm simulating a shout here) mail, the problem will possibly turn political. Best of luck with that. Just some musings here. Whether you guys decide against top-posting or agree to tolerate/ignore it will not affect my affection I have for this list. Bunch 'o good guys that we are :) Cheers! -- Shuveb Hussain B I N A R Y K A R M A Chennai, India.
