Was the discussion announced to and open to the community or just the admins? 2. According to the new Mailing List Etiquette rules under the Technical Guidlines Proper Quoting section the third rule is "Write your email underneath the email which you are replying to." From your /very first post/ about this subject you are breaking the rules you set for the rest of us. Personally I prefer to top post. The arguments for either side are worthy and can be accepted as fair. However as a list member I am forced to do as you say, not as you do. Is this a fair situation for all?
