Hi All
Sorry for the problem I seem to have created, actually I just "replied to
all" removing your personal e-mail (on my client, Lotus Notes there is no
"reply to the list" function).
I always did like this on this list and on other lists.
Actually, I don't care about saving a few seconds and I'm ready to do it
"the right way", it's just that I'm not sure to understand what you mean
by toppost
Regards
Gaël

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Do not toppost again please, it's a pita to keep threads orderly that way.
Why not leave it to your mail software to keep threads orderly?
I don't know about yours, but my MUA isn't able to repair topposts, and I do not call a inconsiderate and lazy toppost orderly.
This dogmatic insistence that top-posting is always wrong is just mindlessness. Sometimes top-posting is the best choice.
No, it is not. It might seem so for the poster because it saves a few seconds of *his* "precious" time, but the next replier might have to repair the broken post, to make sense of what *he* has to say, thereby being forced to invest much more time on that post than strictly neccessary. This is a mailing *list*, meaning that (generaly speaking) more then 2 people are involved in a discussion. To keep any disccussion sane it is vital that everybody uses the same set of rules, and unless I'm mistaken; replying under a quote and trimming excess material is still the preferred SOP here.
