I'm using Outlook Express. I have to manually make my responses to the group follow proper form. . It doesn't happen automatically. You only want to include the minimum information necessary to set up the question and answer. Anything more than that is wasteful noise on this channel. If I just instruct Outlook Express to respond, type my answer and then send, then I have just top posted which is in poor form. It's confusing to read if you've just sat down or been reading about other topics. Instead, after initiating respond, I Edit what' Outlook Express puts there so as to get rid of a bunch of the useless junk. I might trim down the body of the post I'm responding to a single phrase, sentence or whatever the least amount of information that has to be expressed to clearly state the topic that I want to respond to. This just creates a smooth set up for what I'm about to say. Then, I put my answer beneath the set up I just manually created. Try to keep the whole package crisp and to the point. Reread and try to remove ambiguities. Snide or smart A__ comments in good form contribute nothing to the group cause. This is not elementary school. Good luck.
