Why ?, I get sick of reading quote after quote,
especially the longer posts. :-)

And it's 'are not quoted', and 'will have', plural present tense.
Don't you know the Queen's English ?

I think both you and Michael are missing the point here. The OP originally
posted this to the cellphoneforums forum which obviously has a feed to ACN.
His instructions probably shouldn't have been echoed to ACN, but the advice
to the members (many of which don't realise that their posts end up on ACN)
is good advice unless they want to end up with the same shitty reputation
that MidiBuddy users got.

Many of the points he makes are just good Usenet ettiquette, and if a few
more people posted along the same guidelines he suggested, the group would
be a better place to inhabit.

As for quotes:- You may get sick of reading quotes, but anyone coming to
the thread late may find that earlier posts have expired from their server,
so posting context in your replies makes a great deal of sense - as does not
top-posting.

Point taken about expired posts.

OT, Question, How do I get Outlook Express to put my signature at the bottom
of a reply post and not the top. I've had a look, but can't seem to find an
answer ?

Either that, or manually insert it at the end of your post
(Insert/Signature).

Well, the OP's name appears to be Andres, which isn't an English name, so
perhaps he doesn't

In which case, Google groups is your friend...

It does, and quoting _in context_ (as I'm attempting to do here) is good but the
sad fact is that too many people are just too lazy to bother.


I blame broadband. Anyone who has had to download usenet posts with a 2400 baud
modem over a long distance phone call will soon learn about snipping..


Cue the "I've been on the net longer than you" wars now...

Yup, couldn't agree more, plus the availibility of online forums with feeds
to Usenet don't help any.
