My thoughts exactly, TG. I was just thinking about that this morning, in fact --- exactly the stuff you said. That aside, I started using a DSL/Knoppix distro to modify to automatically install a server environment as opposed to the desktop environment. As such, without the need for a GUI, et cetera, it should be even smaller than the 50MB ISO it is now, and will be even more embed-able. I'm only working on it in my "spare time", so it may not be ready for use when you need it, but if I keep moving forward with it, I'll keep you posted if you'd like.... I'll even write the updates up top here. On 6/22/07, tg-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <tg-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
First, funny that you say that from a Gmail account, where top-posting is encouraged by the mail system. Second, and not to get into a big discussion about top vs bottom posting, but I top-post because typically if I'm involved in a conversation, I know what's been said already and don't want to scroll past a ton of it to get to the meat. To me, an original message is included in a reply as a quick reference as to what's being replied to and a reminder of what's been said. The people top-posting probably screws the most are the daily digest readers. But even then, if a reply is properly trimmed, then it shouldn't matter if it's top or bottom posted. Doesn't help that ePrompter (little app I use to check many pop3 and web based emails) has primative original email handling where it won't indent with ">" or anything, pretty much forcing you to top-post if you use it to reply. I prefer top posting and don't know why there's so much animosity against it. When I open an email, the first thing I want to see is what someone said in that email. If I need a reminder of what was already said, or clarification on what they're replying to exactly, then I can scroll down. -TG = = = Original message = = = ps. Please don't top post!
