<br></div><div>Main thing is to kill off 6 layers of top posting :-) Some "purists" whine and cry about top posting like it's worse than a zombie apocalypse. Some people only top post since their mail reader default is set to that. Some people, usually not on a phone, will do inline posts. <br>
<br></div><div>Whatever floats the posting-boat is fine with me as long as I'm not getting dinged about "fred's post is too large. Approve?", cause I'm kind of busy yet still want the posts to be timely. ALE gets 300-500 garbage posts each day. Thankfully, <ctrl>-f lets me quickly dig out the little tiny ham nuggets for these events but I'd feel bad if I missed one and blew away the crap-queue.<br>
