And that includes not top-posting and trimming your quoted part to only what is necessary for context. Unfortunately most people are too lazy to bother trimming anything so you end up with longer and longer posts. Some of us have to pay for bandwidth and longer posts just eat up more of it than necessary. -- Aj. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
