Convention and the "business world" seem to be 2 different things. For
example, this group usually flames guys like me for what I'm doing
now...replying on top. In the "business world" folks do what ever is
quicker....and this is quicker and that's normally top replies.

But if you notice, my signature appears at the bottom of this email.
When I use outlook, it appears under my current entry. Am I doing
something wrong?
