I have seen plenty of cultures where people are unaware of the value of interleaved/bottom posting, but so far, not one where anyone has actually required it. Not one. "Norm" here just means "the thing people are too lazy to not do". That's not a reason for anyone else doing it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
