Aah. Understood. Apologies for the "noobishness" :)
Noobishness can be tolerated for a "reasonable" time, especially when
the "noob" actively seeks to improve his skills, as you are doing, so
kudos to you.
The next skill to learn, after NOT top posting, is the art of
trimming quotations to the most relevant bits. You'll have to use
your own judgment for most quoted text, however, if nothing else, be
sure to remove any links to the quoted persons web site or blog, and
any "famous quotes".
Some folks even have software that "blabs" about how great a job it
is doing protecting the posters computer (like we really care!), so
if you see any taglines that mention "this is a virus free message"
(oh thanks, now i can sleep at night!), or some pretentious line
about "this was sent from my i-phone" -- send that crap to the
bitbucket!
"This was sent from my iPhone" == "I have an iPhone!"
Also annoying is some footnote that says that the email contains
confidential information and that if you're not the intended recipient
you should delete it, etc.
That's somewhat pointless if it's being sent to a public forum!
