Roland, you are obviously from some other planet than I.

In the circles I frequent, it is the exact opposite.

It is the IT people who are most likely to know how to properly use
their mail client, and properly quote emails when replying.

It is Microsoft Outlook weened drones that are most likely to be lazy
asses who simply cannot be bothered to learn how to properly use their
mail client.

Obviously you travel in that world of "got paid to write a program 
once" instead of the "three plus year multi-million dollar bet the
company systems development projects." I can tell you what world I
travel in. Remember the articles which came out in ComputerWorld and
the other trade rags after 9/11? The ones about how the trading
companies who used distributed OpenVMS clusters lost two of their
sites and most of their people when the Twin Towers fell, but the
trading system continued executing trades until the end of business
WITHOUT LOSING A SINGLE TRANSACTION. All other companies using all
other operating systems lost massive amounts of transactions along
with their locations. Most of those companies did not re-open their
doors.

That's my world.  Designing and developing systems which continue
running without error long after the humans are gone.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Your arguments in support of top posting were specious and without
merit, and this is what you come back with?

PLONK.
