Totally off topic agreed but fun nonetheless. I normally do prefer to get rid of any quoted text entirely but somehow it slipped through in my previous email, even if I am using an intelligent email service as per the rather amusing Wikipedia entry on posting styles, love the quotation marks around intelligent. <br>
<br>"For users of modern e-mail clients and "intelligent" e-mail services like Gmail,
which display entire e-mail threads in logical order and hide previous
content, the distinction between different posting styles is often now
less relevant."<br>
<br>Why is bottom posting bad for me personally? Well I'm not usually interested in wading through all the previous posts to get to the meat of the text, If I'm interested then I would have followed the thread and only require the new message. Perhaps I should go back 15 years to using cc:Mail or the likes. In all fairness if these where Usenet posts then the posting style is more critical with most news style posts when conversations are not threaded but hey, its 2008 and I'm using a current Linux distro with a modern email client not CPM with GEM desktop. Actually I can't believe I'm responding to this but all of the holier than thou individuals who bang on about posting styles, usually to disparage a person who is new to a list do get my goat on occasions, it should not be a stick to beat someone with, and I've become just as guilty by association with this email, for that I apologise.<br>
