What 5 links in the middle? *scrolls down* Ah, the top-posting syndrome. Old quote, but more valid than ever: A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? I find it almost comical that people do not realize how unnaturally they behave, and how hard they make it on their recipients, when they top-post. Oh, and usually, I take top-posting as a clear sign that the poster is not worth replying to. Take this mail as a sign that I take care of what you said, _in spite of_ your top-posting. Ciao, Dscho
