But providing you trim, all of his argument is lost. 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." 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. However, quite often you see a one-liner crammed up against the header information from the previous post, with maybe 5 to 6 other posts inconsistently quoted, 95% of which is completely irrelevent. And thats considered "efficient" by the deficient author. Ben -- I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a string...
