It's very helpful to those of us who read top to bottom and left to right. But yeah, trimming posts goes a long way towards consideration. Nothing's worse than scrolling two or three pages to read a one line response. And most of all.. if you participate in a list serv like php-general, please use a 'threaded' mail client. The list serv messages contain a unique message id and thread capable mail clients will thread them for you based on that message id. This somewhat prevents multiple (correct) answers to the same questions over and over throughout the day. And don't forget to turn threading 'on' in your mail client. Like in Pine for example, you _have_ to turn it on before it begins to work. -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
