Why do you feel a need to jump in at all? A. My Outlook Express is configured to post in plain text if it's coming in HTML it's only 'cause someone else put HTML in the thread. B. Top posting is a CHOICE and saves time--one needed read everything that's been posted before in a long thread. My point to the chap jumping on my reply was valid you're just picking a fight. darkroommike ---------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Davis Nature Photography" <JBDavis@hkg.odn.ne.jp> To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@listserver.isc.rit.edu> Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2003 5:46 PM Subject: Re: Dimming hot lights > Mike King <mikeking@cableone.net> wrote/replied to: > > >Why are you responding off topic to my post in this thread? > > > >darkroommike > > Better yet, why are you top posting in HTML? > > My guess is he is a newbie.
