Awww...that's no fair. Andrew has bottom-posted to this top-post thread. That really confuses me.
Andrew's 'header' appears at the top of the 'stuff,' and his comments at the bottom. Then there's a little <snip>ing that I would have considered really important when I only had 16KB of memory to work with, but it leaves me wondering whose comment was "Seconded..." We've lost the attribution. What did you mean, Andrew, about "Don's multiple signatures which I think he will review"? --Don -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Latham Sent: Friday, January 14, 2011 7:31 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Top Posting > Seconded.

Many of the top post vs bottom post comments happen on the 5+ post on a thread when the size of the email becomes an issue. I have blindly replied in the past and was unable to understand my own email. Take a moment and trim out the messy bits. Use a (snip) or <snip> to note huge missing areas. As you will note in Don's post there is a history to the argument. Also note Don's multiple signatures which I think he will review after he sees it in action. :) Above all, be polite... ~~~ Andrew "lathama" Latham [email protected] ~~~ -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
