Hi Rich, > Because this isn't UseNet and we don't have a set of rules governing how > we post, anything that doesn't annoy other users should be allowed. I don't care if this is UseNet or not, my point is: Simply put your reply directly below the part of the post you are refering to and delete all the rest of the post you don't reply to. This way it's very easy for other readers to follow, no need to wade through endless unrelated lines of text or code sample, just clear and short. > I'd rather have top posts than have to wade though endless dribble from > previous posts before I get to the meat of the post. So why then you don't delete the unrelated stuff, but leave it - the thing you find unpleasant for yourself - to others: to go hunting for the part of the post you refer to? If they find it interesting and want to read it as a whole - from top to bottom but finding the anwser first, and one has to go on a search for the question? Not too nice, I think. Just my thoughts. Nevertheless, I'd really like to say how much I appreciate your posts for their valuable content! Even if I didn't have a particular issue recently, I do admire your knowlegde! Kind regards, Heinz | |
