Understand that I'm not saying that it is better. I'm saying that like for my opinions, I don't expect everyone else to have the same. I think your opinion is just as valid as mine. And that seems to be the crux of the arguement. I think your opinion is valid, regardless of whether it is the same as mine. You regard my opinion as invalid,
We don't regard your opinion as invalid at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But you must also accept the ways of _this_ list. The accepted practice on _this_ list is (and has been for many many years) for bottom posting. Put your answer after the question not before. It is also the accepted practice on _this_ list to trim out parts of email that your reply does not apply to. If you moved to a different country that did not speak your native language would you expect everyone to learn your language because it is more convenient for you? It is all about accepting what has been the _norm_ on this list (and has worked well for many years), not suddenly expecting everyone else to change to your way of thinking because your opinion is different. You can have your opinion, just respect the opinion of the majority of the members of this list. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
