For one thing it is really hard to follow what she writes. Because she doesn't intersperse her thoughts with the thoughts of the person she is replying to, it makes it really hard to follow.

Actually, interspersing has it's own problems with mis-attributed comments and trying to track who said what. I haven't figured out yet why standard email format (top-post) is a huge no-no to some folks on newsgroups. OTOH, some newsgroups couldn't care less. One site I used to post in regularly _insisted_ on top post to not waste anyone's time in reading the high volume of messages. IMO, top posting isn't an issue of laziness on the part of the poster but of communicating more quickly and clearly in a way that takes less effort on the part of the reader (not having to scroll down unless you need more details). Not trimming may be an issue of habitual laziness or not paying attention. Even then, I'm not on a 1200bps modem nowadays -- I've moved up to a 56k. :-) Sorry to disagree with you Don, because after following this group awhile, I've come to respect your opinion. But for the life of me, I can't see why the location of the communication assumes a greater importance than what is said or why people insist so adamantly on different formats in electronic communication (email versus newsgroup postings).
