I'm getting a bit tired of this eternal Top Posting rant. In the<br>
future mail, please perceived offenders off-list.<br>

<br></blockquote></div>Well, top posting is quite annoying when you're trying to view the thread linearly. Imagine if on a forum someone kept finding a way of posting before the original author way back on page one.<br>
<br>Anyway, in Gmail it's pretty easy to avoid. When you do a replay just page down to after the person to whom your replying and type your message there. It's a simple thing to do and it makes everything really easy to read for everyone. Maybe those who find it most annoying should just put something in their signature about it? <br>
<br>It's rude to do it, but if someone doesn't know about it they shouldn't be made to feel like they are an idiot and shouldn't be posting to the list.<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>David Mikucki<br>
