Yes, I have known enough technies and nerdists in my life, and they answer all their emails like they are still in the mailing list; responses inline through the paragraphs. ;-) I get it, I do. Your argument really comes down to "but this is the way we have always done it"; which, as I said, puts us all in the position of having to police one another. I would like to choose Door #3, please. There must be a better way. Anyway, I have said my piece, and will follow the consensus. I struggle to see the advantages of the no top-posting rule, but I would not want anybody to think that I am not a total geek. Myself, I geek in order to live. I don't live in order to geek. It isn't natural for me. Bill
