You and I have no disagreement. Your point about the argument being lost is precisely why I was trying to induce the previous poster to read the various articles on the subject. They don't just simply say 'do it this way'; they provide the reasoning, based on the most sensible, for why it's the 'accepted' methodology by those who think about it. > > The bit about big egos is also incorrect, since it's not about egos, it's > about standards. If he were to drive on the wrong side of the road, his > argument could hardly be "I think you have a big ego, how dare you dictate > on which side of the road I drive." An argument could be made that which side of the road one drives on poses a physical danger to others whereas posting style "doesn't hurt anyone." That, of course, is why one is law while the other is a matter of convention and courtesy. > RFC 1855 gives the guidelines in paragraph 3.1.1 > http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html > > Since it's an RFC, a large number of people have agreed to the way in which > it's done. > > Personally I couldn't care less where the information is, as long as it's > clear what's being said. I agree. That, after all, is the purpose of writing a message, I should think ;) > <snip> > > Ben
