Personally, I have always felt that top posting -destroys- clarity. But as Chaplin Tapman said in Catch-22 "I'm not here to judge you."
FWIW I prefer top-posting as I assume anyone interested in the thread has read the note being responded to and it's only there for someone late to class or looking for perhaps a misunderstanding or mismatch between the new text and the quoted text. In my ideal world there wouldn't even be all this quoting sent back and forth. It'd just become a type of link perhaps like the HTML #tag syntax to highlight a specific region of text, which one could click if they need it. I'm aware that some MUA's will hide quoted text and only expand it if asked which is something of a one-sided compromise. One-sided in that a #tag scheme would require cooperation of some web site out there to format and hold the target links while just hiding quoted text can be done entirely within your phone or whatever. But on some lists I'm on, not this one particularly, there are a lot of notes going back and forth which are >1MB of nested quoting and the only new text is "I agree!" or "+1". Seems dumb but hey disk is cheap and so is talk. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs () TheWorld com | http://www.TheWorld.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: +1 617-STD-WRLD | 800-THE-WRLD The World: Since 1989 | A Public Information Utility | *oo*
