Besides detracting from the continuity and accuracy of the conversation, it is rude and selfish. There are still individuals who must pay for time and/or traffic online.
I agree with your position on this, with the qualification that this is a far more subjective matter. Top-posting is a fairly clearly defined matter. Pruning for relevance is very much more a matter of opinion.
Are you saying the opinion that it is acceptable to leave the sig's and headers and tails in quoted text, not remove them and other text not pertinent to your reply is good and only subject to opinion ??? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org
