<div><br></div>- Avoid flamewars, trolling, personal attacks, and <b><u>repetitive arguments.</u></b><div>- Under Topic: The ubuntu-users mailing list should be used for technical support.</div><div><font color="#333333" face="'Ubuntu Beta', UbuntuBeta, Ubuntu, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', Tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:15px;line-height:16px">-</span></font> Tailor your reply to fit the text which you are replying to. Do not quote the whole of the previous email - <b><u>remove any unnecessary text</u></b>. To avoid confusion, it's often a good idea to replace removed text with a brief indication that something has been removed, like [snip].</div>
<div><br></div><div>I don't really need to carry one, do I?</div><div><br></div><div>Why would we stick to:</div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><font face="arial">For those who may question me, yet again, why I don't write my replies underneath the email which I'm replying to, there you go:</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><font face="arial">1- I'm using Gmail Web Interface - I never use any email client (hope that is not a problem :P)</font></span></div><div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><font face="arial">2- I always "quote" the part that I'm replying to - sometimes I forget, I'm human :)</font></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:medium"><font face="arial">3- I find it easier for me and others (to top posting) - yes, it's a bit of a problem to some other - I suggest to drop the argument and move forward. I don't wish nor want to break any Code of Conduct, Rules, etc. It is JUST easier and faster for me and LESS confusing. I'm not disabled but I have a bit of weak eyes and it is always confusing me when I read bottom posted emails.</font></span></div>

May I ask you three to read the original message and answer to the<br>
points? The first reply removed the original message and after that<br>
nothing has been said on topic.<br>
