I sometimes add little > characters to the first character of each paragraph to help keep things together. I just copy and pasted your reply from the top to the middle of this email. I underlying point is that you're going to quickly find bottom posting is very inconvenient for many people, your example included...but then what are we going to do? If we're going to use mailman then each of us will have to find a way to bottom post without throwing the entire message and footers into the email each time. -- Bill

Replies are appearing all over the place (top/bottom/middle) making it impossible to follow threads sometimes. My I ask that everyone make a concerted effort to "bottom post" when they reply to messages. Let's at least see if it helps. It may be as I fear that some people have devices or email software that makes bottom posting hard/impossible. -- Bill

I'm seeing a few messages come through as seen below with a bunch of header-looking garbage showing up in the top of the message...? Most are fine, but this is maybe the 3rd to look like this...

Doh! (Funny ... read this)

How dumb am I? Here's how much.... First, last night, I complained to the new list company that I wasn't getting a certain setup message. I was checking the wrong email account. Then I posted here about how, in theory, digest members wouldn't see proof of the new list messages until some time passed, and hey why aren't I getting messages? I had (ahem) accidentally digested myself. (The hard skull was especially tough to chew, but getting the foot in my mouth was easy!) >From what I can see thus far, the new list works fine.

Murphy's Laws for Electronics: If wires can be connected in two different ways, the first way blows the fuse. If anything is used to it's full potential, it will break. If you understand it, it's obsolete. The most expensive component is the one that breaks. The reliability of machinery is inversely proportional to the number and significance of any persons watching it. A dropped tool will land where it can do the most damage. Each individual circuit will work perfectly but after combining them to create a system there starts the "Marriage Effect" Any wire cut to length will be too short. Milliammeters will be connected across the power source, voltmeters in series with it. The probability of an error in the schematic is directly proportional to the trouble it can cause. The bleeder resistor will quit discharging the filter capacitors as the operator reaches into the power supply enclosure.
