This is a friendly community, and there are people who top-post, people who
bottom-post, people who trim original text, people who don't do that...

Frankly speaking, I absolutely don't like those "religious" things about top
posting, bottom posting or else.

I value the quality of the content of a post, more than its formatting.

And I don't like flames :)

Cheers,
Giovanni

I have no idea what you are talking about.


Top-posting means placing your comment before the quoted material.

Bottom-posting means placing your comment after the quoted material.

Mixing the two yields articles with hard-to-decipher quote sequence.

My newsgroup reader handles replies, and I
don't bother doing a lot of hand-editing of the quoted material to delete
things.


By making it more easy for yourself you make it difficult for many
readers.

Live with it. Or provide the implementors of Forte Agent with an AI
algorithm that allows
replies to conform to your expectations, and convince them to install it
in the product.


Forte Agent already has the required functionality.

It does not require much intelligence to use it. :-)
