Re: Now Way OT for rmr Re: To Frank Rosenbaum

Thanks for your thoughtful reply, Wolf. However we have gotten way off topic
of the off topic post. It was only about my top posting, not middle.
I will agree to allow you to middle and bottom post if you will allow me to
top and middle post.
If you wish to continue this I think it best to take it to email. However, I
am not interested in continuing.

Or maybe just let myself be driven from the group. . . NAH.

I don't want to be rude to you Wolf, but I really don't see what the big
deal is weather I post on top or not. Isn't it the content of the post
that is important?

Yes -- and that's why including context is important. Without the context
of the other guy's post, it's difficult and even impossible to know what
the aitch is intended. Most of the time, you need just a sentence or two
to set the context. As I said, it's to make it easier for the person who's
reading your post. The first and most important rule of composition is
"Write for your audience." Oh yeah, there's stuff about grammar and
spelling, too, but that's what professional writers have editors for. :-)
(I used to be an English teacher in a former life.)

BTW, I don't know how you've set OE, but I just bottom posted this, and
your sig and everything below it simply doesn't show up in my compose
window. I had to cut'n'paste to include your final sentence above.
Curious.

Your own sig should be attached automatically to your post, it should not
show in your Compose window at all. "Bottom posting" means after the other
guy's post, not after your sig.

Re: "I just looked at the Tools/Options menu and could not find any way to
change where my sig goes. If you know of it, please tell me and I will
change it."

The sig should be at the end of your post. AFAIK, you can't put it
anywhere else. Some programs enable you to create a number of sigs, set
one a default, or select a specific one for a specific post or e-mail.
