Don't you think that's reading a little too much into it? I mean, some people just hit reply and start typing...they aren't driven by some deep rooted Freudian issues. Well, maybe they are, but I don't think anybody using Linux would really have the degree in that area to make such an observation with any validity. j/k Personally, I prefer inline posting. However, if somebody top posts, no biggie. Usually, if the top post is something that *may* contain something that interest me, I'll read down. But I find that most top posting really doesn't get me interested to read past it. -- Sincerely, Jason Spatafore http://www.spatafore.net Linux+ Certified Professional --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
