   I concur.  I find that most top posters include the whole original post     
   and don't bother to remove the irrelevant (stinky) parts.  But then I     
   guess each person has their own sense of smell.  :(

   By bottom-posting I meant/include in-line, that is writing *after* the     
   relevant text.   
      
   In-line is a fine fidonet original style.   
      
   Have you ever tried to modify internet email messages to in-line?  I would     
   use a combination of indent, bullets, italic, bold.  It freaks out some     
   people that you reply to!  :)   
      
   Some "devices" would be inconsistent on how they handle bullets, then it     
   is hard to understand who wrote what.
