Bev. (Who will try not to top post in future.)
Not getting at anyone, as I've top-posted myself on occasion, but this has reminded me of something that used to crop up when I frequented newsgroups, along the lines of:
'Top Posting' doesn't mean that what you've posted is good - rather the opposite!
I've never really had a problem with top posting and have myself done so by accident many times. it's pretty much the norm these days, however it is frowned upon on this list. Good practice is to remove any non relevant text from the quoted text whilst giving some indication on where an deletion edit has been made. In-line posting has never seemed to be a problem. Attachments have never been a problem in replies to sender but not in initial posts and replies to the list. Link to attachments hosted elsewhere are fine.
