Hello,
My earlier message should have read as below.
Many of the users who rant of others not trimming their mails, top-posting, bottom-posting and other bits of prissiness have been guilty of worse discourtesies in the past. I remember one of the so-called 'senior' users has called someone a moron. The same user has now appointed himself a custodian of netiquette.
I suspect that this ranting about trimming mails and such is merely a pretext to keep their name appearing on the list i.e to boost their egos.
Regards Suhit Kelkar.
