If you come in on a conversation late, you want to read every post in order. I'm guilty of systematically top posting because it's what I preferred and presumed the list didn't have a convention on that. Is there a policy with snipping conversations?? (eg. the above) I just dislike sending/scrolling through large amounts of commented text that is largely irrelevant or I've already read. Anyway, it might be an idea to include any conventions like that into the message footer or intro (welcome) message so noobs like me don't start a flame war. :) It's not like the convention either way is important, but if it's accepted/expected at least let the noobs know! ~Nick
