People have always been lazy, but now more of them have computers and high speed net access. While I agree most people should cut more quoted material and stop top posting, requiring people submitting to a gallery to make more effort to trim a few K just seems like wasted effort. Hey, 12 photos of 100K each, my gosh, that's over a megabyte! The funny part is we got people here posting html with a two liner and hundreds of lines of quoted text below it - total waste but apparently there is no way to stop it. Now if Outlook Express was as smart as my Email Agent, that would not be a problem. I select with my mouse the part I want to quote and when I hit reply that's what is quoted. For some reason OE has nothing like this ability. Course one can hit control C after selecting, then Reply and hit control V, but that's asking a lot of someone... How hard would it be for Microsoft to put the cursor at the bottom automatically when replying? The answer is they don't want to. The want to make it easy for people to top post and leave everything below it. It's good for business if people waste bandwidth. >Broadband was supposed to speed up the internet.

I tried out some cool javascript and flash stuff, but it did slow things down quite a bit. Google is my friend, I shall not want. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits, Powerlet, Posi-Lock, Parts, Info, Photos K100RSes on both sides of the planet!
