Just be polite, please. If there is a convention for in-line replies or bottom-posting on a list, please follow it. On the ALSA list the convention is for people to quote the bit they are replying to and put replies at the bottom of the section they are replying to. It's only polite to fit in nicely. > > When I'm following a topic in a live list I have already taken in all > the previous information and if there is bottom posting I fast scroll > past all the previous stuff to read the latest update only - nothing > lost either. > > If there is top posting the information update I need is immediately in > view.

It's also a little surprising: all the high-traffic lists I'm on are vociferously against top-posting for exactly the reasons that you appear to like it. Please just be nice to everyone and fit in with common practise on the list you're replying to. jch ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
