Well, here I'd like to follow up your comments, in context of his message, but I can't because it's way down at the bottom. If it was a simple "question:answer" kind of a medium, it'd work reasonably well, but because usenet threads can build for weeks or months, it works better to have things in the normal way that a conversation happens. > i have no preference one way or > another, but i usually prefer top-posting for short and straight messages > because i generally know what the thread is about and would prefer to get to > the particular response and not have to wade through the text of a previous > post over and over. Ah, but that's the key - trimming of unneeded content. If it's not what you're going to address snip it out. Rarely do you need to quote anything more than 2 or 3 layers deep - anyone following the thread already has seen it, and those who want to catch up can do so. Dave Hinz
