You don't want to read the beginning (you already have read it in the previous message in the thread). But you want to include it because it may be of importance as reference material. But less important than the new content, thus behind it. > It also pisses off the majority of people reading > Usenet. Prove it :) Anyway, I guess this conversation has already taken place many times, in many other places. My point is: don't tell people how they should format their text because this is really a question of taste, and subjective, and there is no "best" way. BoD
