Please don't poke the bear!
I don't know if it's age (MINE or his), but lately, I seem to sense a
mellowing of demeanor in his posts.<g>

I'm talking about when he's *unprovoked*!

With threads such as Aaron's, he's as tough as ever.<bg>

RD, Thanks for the trip down memory lane ..
Back in 2001, I even remember benefiting directly from your response at:

Thanks again for that one !
when I update my dye formulas.

A clue to your moniker?

Should I start "bottom posting" ?

I'm gonna try it for a couple of days. So far I'm not enjoying it but maybe
it's just something to get used to.

Think I'm actually quite versatile on this <g>

Top, bottom, in-line or any variation/mix in-between, it should be ok as
long as the response goes over clearly and looking right ..

I'd rather see top posting.

And if you look at most of the messages in the *excel* newsgroups, you'll see
that most people top post.

If you're going to bottom post (or intermingle), I would think you'd want to
snip more of the previous posts.

(As a lazy top poster, I hardly ever snip!)

NOW, Google is smart enough to hide the display of previous messages to save
screen display space.
BUT, they do include the option to:
"Show Quoted Text"

Go down the thread in this link, and click on that option in *each* post.

That will show you exactly what displayed in these groups at the time of
posting, and what anybody following the thread had to scroll through in
order to follow that thread.
You lose your train of thought going from post to post, just from looking
for the new message.

This is a perfect example of why 'Bottom' posting should be a MORTAL SIN,
And I did enter the thread just to bring up that point!

PLEASE don't go that route!<bg>

Thanks for the illustration !
(Looks like we've diverted into yet another subject: "bottom posting" <g>)

I'd agree that there's the risk ...
.. You lose your train of thought going from post to post,
just from looking for the new message.

but I'd usually "bottom post" only for short orig. posts
where the response/message is immediately apparent just below
(A bit of variety for the eyes is good, no? <g>)
