ADMIN: No top-posting, please

Hi, everyone; a bit of a rerun admin, but it's 
needed:

Top-posting (replying to a message by putting 
your new comments at the top of the message 
leaving the quoted message to follow) is not 
allowed here. 

When a person top-posts, they virtually never 
snip the excess / irrelevant parts of the 
quoted message; we have a *lot* of members who 
read the messages in digest form, and it is a 
headache in the extreme to wade through acres 
of unsnipped posts.

Also it can often be difficult to follow who 
is saying what and it's much easier to follow 
a discussion in the format of

> List Member Bill:
> Bill's quoted comments that you're replying 
> to.

List Member Anne:
New message replying to Bill.

All members, new and old, should read through 
our posting rules; you've read quite a few 
pages of HP, you read lots of posts here, so 
spare a few minutes and read the rules:

If anyone has any questions, feel free to 
contact your list elf, or the whole crew of 
elves at HPforGrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com.

One last mention -- everyone, but especially 
our newer members, *make sure* to regularly 
check the email account you used to join this 
group; all too often the elves try to contact 
people but never hear back from them. So 
please, check your accounts and let us know 
you're seeing our messages, folks. Thanks!
