I kind of agree. The bad thing is that top-posting and not snipping the parts you are responding to, massively decreases the readibility and usefullness of email. You just read the first paragraph of an email and ignore all the rest. I do it, the person I'm responding to does it. Kind of like a lose-lose situation. Of course, the person that seeks help loses more. Thorsten
