I feel your pain. The reason you have to do this is because 99% of the people on this list do not know how to properly trim there emails. Unless you have your mail window really small you'll most likely be able to read this reply (hopefully) and that's because I trimmed everything I wasn't reply to. Most of the people on this list just put their cursor where they want to respond and press enter a few times, then write their message and send. They of course don't trim the irrelevant parts of the previous message. I think it's really lazy to do that. And contrary to your NOT liking bottom posting because you can't see what the person is responding to, that's the exact reason I don't like top posting. I'm on an NT list and the guys on that thing will reply to a 10k email with one line, or even a few words. And with the 8 line header that Outlook creates when replying you usually cannot see the original text unless you scroll down, even if they are responding with only one line.
