Considerate people only include snippets from the original message to give context to their responses when multiple questions were asked in the original email, and those snippets are well edited. Inconsiderate people just include the entire thing. Top posting encourages just including the whole thing. That is, a good bottom poster's message doesn't require pagedowns because he's only included a few lines from the original. Just like we do on this BBS.

When I used to do that, it was never well received. Tended to make me look a bit obsessive about my message, according to some people who received them. Now, when e-mailing people who don't know me well, I have to do it AOL-style, all messy and ignorant. People seem to understand those better.

Those people are wrong. You didn't want them to be your friends anyway.

The FAQ Master waves his hand slowly in front of FireFox31

FAQ Master: "These are not the friends you're looking for..."

FireFox31's eyes sort of glaze over.

FireFox31: "These...uhh...these aren't the friends I'm looking for."

FAQ Master: "You don't need to repost the entire previous email...."

FireFox31: "I don't need to repost the entire previous email."

FAQ Master: "Go call the button caster."

FireFox31: "I'm gonna go call the button caster."

Hahaha, nice. Yeah, I should call that guy. Trying to be all formal, I e-mailed him to set up a time for the call, but haven't heard back in a few days. I'll try him tomorrow at work. Still waiting on a few other things, so it's no big deal.

Oh, and I was drooling over GE Plastic's exotic flavors of LEXAN. How about metalic buttons, perled buttons, sandstone buttons, or..... make-up colored buttons?!

(sorry for the thread-jack)

I'd buy Chrome. Metallic too.
