No, I use Outlook Express, and all other replies are quoted correctly; yours
(and perhaps others from Google Groups) are the exception.

That must be something going on at your end, because I get the 's
(the correct number of them) whenever I do Reply. Have you tried
google groups?

Worse still, when I reply to one of your messages, the quoted text isn't

Contrariwise, I have to scroll to the top to read the new comments;
google groups takes one to the bottom of the message, and this is the
only one of the five newsgroups I read that uses top-posting.

I
started to post something yesterday and then thought better of it. But I
also prefer top-posting for the reasons Graham mentioned. Yes, it is
illogical and does make reading more difficult for people who come to
the
thread late, but for those who are following it actively, it is far more
efficient.
Not only do I hate to scroll to the bottom of a long thread only to read
"Thanks!" but occasionally I scroll to the bottom and don't seem to find
any
new content; this illusion is caused by the fact that the poster added
his
message within the area of quoted material (blank lines) set off by
characters, making it appear to be part of the previous message.

I hate not being able to edit your posts..... I meant the reverse of
what
I
just posted. I can happily top-post if that's acceptable...I just
figured
that bottom-posting was netiquette...ok over and out.-
