He ask me not to "top-post". I saw another email just now with that same request of someone. Please excuse my ignorance but what is top-posting ? I've read what I think is a currently guidelines for posting questions to freebsd-questions at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html but it doesn't explicitly say what top-posting is. I assume it has something to do with only replying to a specific individual and not including the freebsd-questions group ? -- ........................................................ ......... ..- -. .. -..- .-. ..- .-.. . ... ............ .-- .. -. -... .-.. --- .-- ... -.. .-. --- --- .-.. ...
