The other thing is trimming one's replies. As a general listserv netiquette, just trim the reply quotes to just include enough to establish a context. Leave out signatures, et. al.
Yeah i agree jerry I hate it when there is long preamble of previous stuff quoted. I try to just quote what is needed keep it short an to the point on quotes.
I have been guity of top posting but then on some lists that is ok. I can care less which one is used.

I feel the same, and just follow each lists' rules (if it has any), but there are times I really do like top posting. That is when there is a very large included part of the previous message that should have been snipped and a short top post. It's a lot easier than scrolling through all the extra stuff. Of course that begs the question, isn't that a snipping problem. Jim
