Is it just out of principle that people insist on arguing about how large an e-mail is? It should be fairly innocuous to just post shorter. Bottom posting makes sense to me, and this is the first mailing list I've ever joined. It actually does make it easier to search for answers (should I go to the mailing list web page and search for somethin'). I mean criminy, I've watched the idiotic arguement for like two days now. Just snip a little and post at the bottom. Of course then this will be met with a "principle" based retort of some kind in which I'll be forced to read as well. I gotta tell ya though, it's getting to the point of silliness. Alex
