I'm not real experienced with the newsgroups so I am wondering what the
'rule' is for replying to a message. Is the reply supposed to be at the beginning or at the end of the message? Thanks Girl Jamie |

I prefer bottom posting, like reading a letter, but snipping the parts you are not replying to. Boomer |

Some top post, some bottom post, and some post inside the original post. I bottom posted to you because your message was small and you don't have to scroll past a long message to get to the reply. In a long post, I sometimes top post so you can see the reply immediately. In a post with several questions, I space my reply after each question. Here's some posting resources: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote2.html http://www.acor.org/faqs/lists/listgoodposts.html http://www.tuxedo.org/%7Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.gweep.ca/~edmonds/usenet/good-newgroup.html http://www.cogs.susx.ac.uk/local/doc...on/node02.html http://www.yesenglishonline.com/punctuation.htm Unk |
