Believe it or not, I was not trying to start a flame war (minor as it has been), so I apologize. I was just being cheeky after working most of the night on a project. I am not the only person who may be violating netiquette by top-posting. I looked at the last couple of days of posts and a majority of the responses are top-posts. So I thought a tread on netiquette is needed. I have downloaded the program Chris has suggested (Outlook-Quotefix available here: http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/outlook-quotefix/) seem to work well. It does not affect the HTML emails my clients send, this is a plus. I will change my habits for the list, but not my business. Netiquette rules: Top-posting - bad. Taking time to edit your response and include only what you are answering - good. If you cannot add anything to the solution don't reply to a posting. Be brief - Keep it short, but not terse. (I remember a response to someone's questions being - yes, yes, yes - but no explanation.) Chris Bagnall wrote: > General netiquette is that sigs should be no more than 4 lines.

I think everybody agrees with this one. Are there other netiquette rules that need to be followed? _________________________________ James W. McKeand |
