Joep, Professional IT workers never remove any portion of the post because when you go through a SOX audit, and then through court, you get in a whole lot of trouble for doing it.
Now, people who once got paid for writing a program or use Microsoft products may well have different opinions since their not the ones working on multi-million dollar projects for Fortunate 500 companies. There is a long drawn out history of people deleting what they didn't read then denying things were said. Bottom posting wastes vast quantities of developers time scrolling to the end. Full quoting is a policy mandated by most major corporations and IT organizations because it allows management (and the legal team) to jump into the conversation at any point. I wouldn't even be on this list had the Web site been designed by software professionals instead of whoever was used. On Mon, 2011-05-30 at 12:05 +0200, Joep L.
