And yes, I was suggesting that you do not quote Lennie because to read you I
will have to read him and that I will not do.

Perhaps your newsreader filter can be set to "mark as read" messages
with "Lennie the Lurker" in the body. That will let you avoid any
messages that quote him.


In addition, now that we are discussing posts, please put your response at
the front (on top) of your reply and that way
we won't have to read the previous post unless we want to. This is standard
newsgroup etiquette.

I don't think this newsgroup has a stated policy, but the other two I
frequent do, and it is bottom posting. One group is absolutely adamant
about it, so I tend to stick with that convention. The reason given is
it is easier to follow a thread, though if you follow this group every
day, it's not as valuable as it is for groups with more postings, or
ones you follow infrequently. I do try to trim the post to the most
relevant portions, so it's not so much scrolling. That "adamant" group I
mentioned doesn't like that, either, so I don't do it there.
