I don't think the people who top-post or quote the entire message are doing it out of disrespect. They just have never been exposed to the traditional style. The main reason I posted this was to demonstrate that there's really no reason to quote the original message. My response was only to this one point and not the longer previous point. I actually think this is a more important point to get across than simply "don't top post" which just seems to generate lots of "bottom posts" that are just as bad. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's RemoteDBA services! -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
