I think not J.J.
I've followed this discussion with mounting disbelief. Whether you like
it or not, just as in life there is etiquette on usenet there is
netiquette. That almost universally has come to mean:
1. Snipping comments not relevant to your reply. This is simple and easy
and doesn't require any skill or time.
2. Bottom posting. It is nonsense to give a reply before the question.
3. Interspersing the reply. Easy and best for the reader.
4. Not adding a sig. like yours which was longer than your post!! Sigs.
should be a maximum of four lines...

I wish all newsservers would use QED, the "quoting effusion detector"
developed by Steve Gibson for his groups :-)
