actually.. if you want to post in html, go for it! same with hijacking threads.. we're adults, we can use the delete key... and if your responses aren't on a diet.. well hey, a little fat in your emails never hurt anyone!! lawd.. if worrying about the size of an email, or how it's posted is high on your agenda, you should go to bed every night thanking whoever you thank that your life is going so damn well that you can have time to worry if you're going to get an email from someone who's top/bottom/side posted.... (and i'm not even getting into the issue of your responding to these emails, about the appearance, as opposed to the content!!) come on people, this isn't like it's a religous issue or something... !!!! -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Robert P.
