[AccessD] OT: Why not reply at top of message

Kath, I do it the same way that Stuart does - interspersing quotes and my comments. Once in a while, I'll get lazy and top post, but I always feel guilty when I do, as I realize it IS lazyness that makes me do it. What gripes me is the people who, regardless of top or bottom posting, will quote the entire message and not edit it so that the reply is only to the pertinant part. This message is an example of the right way (IMO) to do that. I only quoted the one paragraph of your message and dumped the rest of the message.

Kathryn (I don't shorten mine)

Oh, and I use Outlook, and don't have my signature set to automatic, instead I "insert" it (as I have several that are pertinant for specific lists). The one below is my general one.
