Top posting is best.

I don't see why you have trouble with the quote marks ().

OE6 puts them in automatically. All you have to do is highlight
and delete what you don't want and leave what you are responding
to. It takes less time than cutting and pasting like you are doing it
now.

Au contraire. I never realized I was committing such a serious breach of

etiquette, but these guys seem to think so.

From now on, if I can remember, no more top-posting. OTOH, I generally
prefer reading top post replies to MY messages, after all, I can generally
recall what I wrote, so I don't need to re-read my own post, I just want to
see what someone else wrote.

I you want us to read your message, you should top post. Unless I have some special
interest in a topic, I usually ignore bottom posters. After the group's recent
"infection" I blow them off without a second thought, and "ignore" the thread if there's
any crossposting.

And more often than not, I have no idea what Katy is talking about or who she is talking
too. (Its bad enough that with her spelling you can't tell what she's saying!)

As for the "bottom post netiquette" thing, its very rare that I find advocates of this
actually have anything to say. Bottom posting only makes sense if the "top" has been
trimmed to a few lines - but the serious bottom post advocates usually include hundreds of
lines of trash - they have the worst of both worlds. Frankly, I think they have their
heads up their bottom post!
