Er, Franz, could you do a little research about how to post on usenet
please? www.google has some useful tips.

If posts are well edited, threads are easier for everyone else to
follow, and also there's no confusion about who said what, so you won't
need to put your name at the end of each comment.


Hello Janet. Thank you for the advice. I don't propose to follow it, as I
see nothing wrong in my style.
By the way, I notice that you, too, add your name to your contributions.
The only difference seems to be that I enclose mine in square brackets. If
readers find that annoying, I will gladly cease using them.

I am fully aware of the usefulness of the attribution marking system. I
only wish that other folk would recognise it too, and cease their infernal
top postings, which lay hell out of the proper threading.

The only reason I use the style which I have adopted is that other readers
confuse the threads with their top posting.

[Franz Heymann]
