CW,
"I've finally realized why some people like to bottom post. It's to give everyone a chance to test there scroll wheel." This is what the "Google Groups - Posting Style Guide" has to say. Summarize what you are following up. When you follow up an existing article, Google Groups includes the full article in quotes, with the cursor at the top of the article. Tempting though it is to just start typing your message, please STOP and do two things first. Look at the quoted text and delete parts that are irrelevant. Then, go to the BOTTOM of the article and start typing there. Doing this makes it much easier for your readers to get through your post. They'll have a reminder of the relevant text before your comment, but won't have to re-read the entire article. And if your reply appears on a site before the original article does, they'll get the gist of what you're talking about. Cite appropriate references. There Are NO Rights - There Are NO Wrongs - Its All A Matter Of STYLE ! Most Times I 'post' On Top. Some Times I 'post' within "=R=" I Seldom 'post' at the Bottom. pms ~ RHF = = = Pardon My Style ) .. .. = = = "CW" = = = wrote in message ...
