You should 'standardize' the line length before you try side-posting. The
following message is very confusing.
The key to top posting is to reply in complete, logical sentences - anything
else produces garbage. For those who are not willing to construct responses
in complete sentences, I am not willing and able to to decipher
foreshortened comments (I find most of the bottom or in-line comments are
really just trivial stuff anyway). I ask how many posts have you seen with
no additional comment? I know I have seen at least 5 in the last 3 days -
one scrolls down on a comment in an interesting thread and finds nothing has
been added - what a waste of time and bandwidth - think of those who read
this reflector in digest form.
73,
