I wasn't complaining, just couldn't work out what was going on I remember about 2 years ago asking here why some people complain about bottom and top posting and then I went away for a couple of days. When I got back it looked like war had been declared and someone thought I might have been a troll to have started the topic. LOL! Top- vs bottom- posting It's an ongoing debate with good arguments for both sides. Personally, I'm agnostic on the topic (was just giving Wes a tease). Anyhow as Wes has already said... the sig delimiter combined with your newsreader respecting the construct of delimiter is the explanation for what was going on. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User |

A declared war just about covers it. LOL

Hi Wes~ On every post if you want to use OE and have the text below your signature to be included in quoted replies. Since you'll get complaints either way, may as well leave it as it is. With some newsreaders, the delimiter is manually added by the user to the sig block. You only have to type it once and the whole shebang gets added automatically along with the rest of the sig. Of course if you bottom posted, none of this would be a problem but we won't go there. ;^) |

Hi Sharon,
You'd be surprised about how many bottom posts that I do not even bother to scroll down and read. Or maybe you wouldn't. ;-) -- Hope this helps. Let us know.

I don't like scrolling too far either. I use a newsreader that has an excellent featu a toggle to suppress or show quoted material. Hiding quotes makes reading a thread easier - regardless of top/bottom replies. If I want/need to see the quoted material, a quick click takes care of it. Wish someone would make an add-on for OE that would do the same. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User |
