There are arguments that will go on in the newsgroups for WEEKS about
netiquette, and whether top posting, bottom posting, or intermediate
posting is
the "right" way to do it. What everybody agrees on, though, is that to
reply to
a very long post with a sentence or two at the top or the bottom is a
waste of
bandwidth.

Notice that everything in the message you sent back to me EXCEPT the part
that I
am replying to is "snipped", or deleted. Especially if you bottom post,
having
the whole group arrow down to find a one-liner is a waste of bandwidth AND
time.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-ok,ok-what is "snipping"?






But it is polite to add snip in place of the text that was snipped...
