RE: [cobalt-users] STOP TOP POSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

["Paul Fennell" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hmm no this is a US format
in the UK the reply does in deed go on top ..
as in the format of email reply ..

so it really is a point of view of where u are from
however not discounting that the point is that this list has a preference
not to
do with what I have just done

SO once again chaps a polite note to the new guys and not a the usual
unhelpful comments and jibs after all they are seeking help and not out to
annoy you .. so have a bit of professional though put into your replies
please

Hi,

1) Top posting does nothing but confuse the thread and some people may
miss relevant chunks of information in a thread if they have to look at
the top, bottom, middle of every mail. They may not even bother to look
if it's jumbles up.

2) If you are changing the subject of the thread like you say you were
doing, then don't top post! Start a new thread! Change the subject line
to reflect your post's subject and start with a fresh mail body (copying
and pasting snippets from other posts if relevant.

Hope this helps, but no need to leave the list!
