Since this list 'requires' bottom posting, I have converted to that and will continue to bottom post on this list. If I inadvertently slip to the dark side and top post, it will be due to habit, not indifference to the rules. As for the opinion "a typical way of writing mails", like I previously typed, this is the only list I am involved with that is setup with that as a requirement. It might be typical in your world, but not the entire world. And like has been mentioned in other emails, not in the corporate world. And the 'lazy' and other reasons associated with top posters don't fly either. If you actually read an entire thread, and have the ability to remember what is going on, you only need the new content, and the rest is for historical backup. Since I spend money in the computer hobby, but earn money in the corporate world, that style is MUCH more important to me. And yes, I do work in the computing environment, and many of my emails at work are in a technical nature. But, thanks again to everyone that contributes to Rockbox! To them, I am very grateful. My major complaint, is people that refuse to be polite, it is extremely frustrating to me. And a tip to others, if one specific person is bugging you, don't unsubscribe, just setup an email rule to move their email to another folder, or automatically delete it.
