BTW, bottom posting is not correct either, it just more closely resembles<br>
interspersed posting so bottom is occasionally correct by accident:) The<br>
problems of switching betwen top and bottom is moot if you snip to one<br>
single level of quoted text. Unless your debating there is seldom a<br>
reason to leave more than one level, and if your debating you should be<br>
posting interspersed in the first place.<br>
