Most email agents (if not all) present the first lines of the email without scrolling, so, if there hasn't been much time between postings, it's usually easier to read. > Seriously though in replying to Beverly in this way you have possibly > offended one of the few people here that could have helped you! > It's not my intend to offend anybody. I want to be as polite as possible. However, I've often noticed, that after sending comments which don't add any useful information, the thread is broken. For myself (and in other newsgroups), I also sometimes use the strategy of looking, if somebody already got help, then skipping the posting if I've not too much time. This way, empty comments block answers. Sometimes, I just want to make this clear. > Best of luck Kind regards Peter PS: I know, inline comments are worst to read, but sometimes it's just better the always referring to some sentence - or do You like to always count them? ;-) |
