as a top poster i'll add just one thing that seems to be lost on this list - the vast majority of people reading email today have been trained (or ruined) by M$ "rules". whenever i "bottom post" to most people they immediately reply back asking why i replied with a "blank" reply. when i explain to them that the reply is beneath their email they simply say that it doesn't make sense - they know what they said to me. so i've just become accustomed to quoting their text below mine. if they've no idea what i'm replying to they can just scroll down a bit and find out. and since the vast majority of people i email are not old-school as others i doubt that i'll be changing my quoting preferences anytime soon. to each his or her own i say.

Some people aren't on the edge. They're right on the lid.
