Can't say I'm wildly interested but where are these RFCs located?

Seeing as you top-posted, you obviously need the link!!! Read RFC1855
in particular section 3.1.1 which states "If you are sending a reply to
a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of
the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a
context".

So, if you want some bedtime reading (it *will* put you to sleep!), all
the RFCs are located here

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/

God I am SO bored with ****wits arguing about posting style.

Do you KNOW how *OLD* RFC1185 is?
When that came out there was at best UUCP over 2400 baud modems, and if
you were very lucky, an 80x25 character screen with cursor scrolling. If
you weren't, you used the space bar.

Only sea lawyers and pedants give two ****s about posting style these days.

It's up to posters to make the context clear, and if it isn't, people
won't read them anyway.

I won;t add any more unnecessary bandwidth to the Internet than that.
