Joep,

Professional IT workers never remove any portion of the post because
when you go through a SOX audit, and then through court, you get in a
whole lot of trouble for doing it.

Now, people who once got paid for writing a program or use Microsoft
products may well have different opinions  since their not the ones
working on multi-million dollar projects for Fortunate 500 companies.

There is a long drawn out history of people deleting what they didn't
read then denying things were said.

Bottom posting wastes vast quantities of developers time scrolling to
the end.  Full quoting is a policy mandated by most major corporations
and IT organizations because it allows management (and the legal team)
to jump into the conversation at any point.

I wouldn't even be on this list had the Web site been designed by
software professionals instead of whoever was used.

Sigh! Roland your remark is utter nonsens. Many lists courteously
request to bottom post but also request clipping. Professional IT
workers remove unnecessary wording from replies and adhere to
courteously requested rules.

Roland,
Permit me to disagree. If you need E-mails for court representation it is best to furnish the original E-mails not the parts of text in answers to E-mails. You answer the relevant portions of an E-mail as the originator has the original text. I don't think a court will accept the umptieth repeat of an original E-mail. But I live in the Netherlands and I have no idea how convoluted American lawyers and justices actually reason. Well, that goes for Dutch members of that kind also. It is a breed that I, as a simple scientist, not understand so therefore your reasoning might be right.
Joep
