>uhoh top post. > > > It's not so much a recommendation from Derek as an accepted procedure outlined in RFC 1855 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html). Relevant parts: - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original! Obviously wether you choose to follow it or not is of your own doing. There are some of us on the list that would appreciate it though. Thanks, ~Matt
