Or don't, considering the 279 markup errors on
http://www.ycoln-resources.com/welcome.asp

I'm not about to take HTML advice from someone who ****s all over their
markup like that.

Then again, it was made with frontpage...

I don't know about the other groups to which all this was crossposted but
in alt.html it's customary to put your replies below the quoted text.

Second, it's bad nettiquite to have a sig that's longer than 4 lines.

Also, you put your sig above the text which you quoted. Another bad
idea. When viewing your post, all of the quoted text was marked as part
of your signature.

Dear Net Nanny Sam:

In the FP newsgroups, it's quite appropriate to top post and have sigs the
way Mr. Rowe did. Suggest you tell your buddies in the alt groups not to
cross-post to MS FP newsgroups if you want your petty rules followed.

Cuz FrontPage users can barely tie their shoes, let alone post correctly!

What's wrong, Tommy? Didn't want anyone making fun of the 279 HTML errors
(per page) generated by your precious FrontPage?

Have you run your page through a validator lately? 72 errors, *after*
specifiying an encoding and doctype manually (iso-8859-1 and HTML 4.01
Transitional respectively).

I really don't know why the OP crossposted to so many different groups in
the first place, but that is beside the point. Apparently any quoting
style, signature size, etc is deemed appropriate in the FP groups, yes? So
if we bottom-post and have short signatures, no one minds?

However, in the HTML newsgroups (and most other places on usenet), it is not
considered appropriate to post using the method that you do. Hence it is
you who are in error in posting to these groups, not the other way around.

We could go into the fact that bottom posting is much more logical than
top-posting, and the fact that it is the way that it has been done since
usenet began, but somehow I don't see that it will be much use here, so will
not waste my time on this any further.

Good day to you sir.
