Yes, that's why it's also recommended to *remove all lines you're not replying to*. A full quote is always annoying (unless it's really needed to get some context, which is in general rare). Not only people with a vision problem will be thankful for that. Like I recommended to *read* on top posting, instead of repeating myths that are made up by people who are ignorant. Simple recipe: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/2006/04/11/how-to-reply.html I am sure that people with a vision problem who jump into the thread prefer a small context over listening "upside down" to get some context, I mean: A: top posting Q: what is the most annoying thing on Usenet Now imagine that Q is quote after quote after qoute because a hand ful of lazy clueless bastards want to save time. -- John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/ personal page: http://johnbokma.com/ Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
