[H-GEN] Email Ettiquite; a Sardonic Reminder.

[De Crow]

To top post or not to top post this is the question at hand :)

Quite frankly I find people that don't top post annoying, as it is a pain in
the arse to try and find the responses in amongst the original post.
Although this is mainly due to people not cutting out the pieces that that
aren't referencing and bad formating. If your going to respond within the
original document you might want to actually have it set out thus:

<original Text>

<your response>


<more orginal Text>

<your response>


Plese note the one line gap after the original text and the 2 line gap after
your response this breaks up the responses in such a way as to know when
things are changing topics.

Hi Ted,

If your email provides enough context that you do not need to refer to the
original text in your reply, then it is best to simply not include that text
rather than top-posting.

Cheers,

Raymond
