I wasn't having a go at you .... You reflected the views of the current majority. I just favour a slightly more relaxed approach, where users are given more leeway to make mistakes in top-posting (as I do occassionally). Blame it on an upbringing that was too strict ... I'm rebelling! <g> That doesn't mean I feel that a community like this doesn't have a right to set a particular standard, and to ask others to abide by that standard. I support that right. I also support Jeff's right to agree with you and support you... however, I don't think his post was needed .. the best way to deal with people that throw insults around is to ignore them. The beauty of email is that I can ignore someone with a killfile without even having to see what I'm ignoring! And I automatically assume I'm in the killfile of people who don't want to read what I have to say. -- Tony Dietrich ------------- Nothing is faster than the speed of light ...
