Lennie's posts may have some value to you but please don't put us all in the

I have successfully excluded him from my allowed list and I wish that anyone
replying to Lennie not quote
his post in your reply.

And yes, I was suggesting that you do not quote Lennie because to read you I
will have to read him and that I will not do.

I did a search for news group etiquette. Out of the 437 different hits I
investigated, only one mentioned top posting as a no-no.
Perhaps it is a European thing.
At any rate, I find top posting eminently more readable.

Perhaps it's a good thing I don't post on many other groups.

Allen:

In the course of your newsgroup etiquette research, you might also look
into requests that the world-at-large censor their discussion to
correspond to one individual's taste. While not disagreeing about the
value of Lennie's contribution (he's in my killfile also), the
suggestion that all other group participants should filter their
conversation to suit comes off a bit myopic, at best.
