Did we really need to see the entire original post copied below your response? And while I'm at it, its "Impreza and I".

Having a bad day?

Whether he is, or not, I'm glad someone is taking the time to educate people on proper posting etiquette, even if it is sometimes rather brusque.

At work, I was recently involved in an email thread where the respondants mixed both top and bottom replies, made all the worse by lack of trimmed replies. It was a longish thread, and part of it was supposed to tell me what I was supposed to do, but I'll be damned if I could figure it out by reading the email. So I wrote a mini-rant, and said I can't figure out what's going on, due to the above, and I'm not going to spend my time trying to figure it out. I quickly got two apologies -- both top replies, and untrimmed. It's disgusting that white-collar professionals have such poor communication skills.

The convention on this BBS is interspersed comments, bottom-posted and trimmed.
