[arch-general] top posting

[Angel Velásquez]

I understand that top posting is to do something like this:

> Denis Alessandro wrote that:
> bla bla bla bla bla

And that's wrong because the e-mail list have the history so you don't have
to copy part of the text, because the copy is available, the e-mail list
have different net-etiquette rules.

So you have to read first and then you answer WITHOUT copying parts of the
e-mails in the thread, basicly :-)

Cheers
