So do I, but I encourage bottom/mid posting. It is the lack of
trimming that is the problem, not where the text is.

Holy revelations Batman!!!!
I just realized I am a bottom poster!
And, right after I dissed ("disrespected" for those of you not in to hip hop
culture) bottom posters. I always trim and post at the bottom.
I honestly thought I was a top poster because my replies are always in the
view window. :-/

So all we have to do to keep top-posters from mucking things
up is to post more than OE can display? Seems easy
enough...

the earth's magnetic field makes bugger all difference to TFTs.
it DOES however, make a difference to CRTs and some TVs.
to prove this, if you've a big, preferably fairly high-res monitor,
turn it through 180 degrees without turning it off/on and degaussing,
and look closely at the screen. a slight colour stain is very common,
which'll usually clear by the automatic degauss.
it doesn't always, but can be done manually using a, well, manual
degausser - which is a big circular electromagnet that you turn on
about 6 foot from the screen, bring it towards it and wipe around the
outside of the casing, before retiring to a slight distance and turning
it off.
anyone who's spent any time in the TV repair business will know what i
mean - usually severe cases are caused by non-shielded loudspeakers
placed too close to the TV...

that's because that's a MICROSOFT group, and as any Outlook Express
user can tell you, MS likes top posting. It's still wrong.

Same here, Dallas! I strongly encourage "trimming the caboose" off quoted
messages as well.
It's absolutely maddening to sort through 3,527 lines of re-quoted quotes
to find the one line of reply...

Perhaps then a suitable alternative would be for the poster to have at
least a short, one line notice that his "content" is at the bottom?

"Wrong"? LOL! Who decides if it's wrong, you?
Sometimes I top post. Sometimes I bottom post and sometimes I post inline.
If you don't like it, sue me or call the Net police and have me arrested.

They are on their way now - expect a knock on your door at 3:00am.
If you do not respond immediately,your house will be strafed by
helicopter gunships and your family will be gased and burned to death
- and you will be railroaded thru a kangaroo court and imprisoned for
life.

No, it should be obvious to anyone with half a brain. If there's no content
at the top - then it has to be in the body or at the bottom.
I used to be a top poster.
But that was a long time, when I was young and foolish and reckless.

I haven't seen many mixed reviews for the 2001FP. I've seen quite a few
people have problems with dead pixels or backlighting (but Dell in the
US has a no-quibble swap warranty which people tend to use).
I bought one yesterday and am absolutely in love with it!
No dead pixels/lighting problems, it looks stunning in Windows and Linux
and no blurring in games!
May not help you, as it's only MHO, but thought I'd at least post an
on-topic response ;-)
Cheers,
Andy

Not necessarily. It could, like my previous reply be devoid of new
content.
Now instead of being "young, foolish and reckless" you've settled on being
old, purile and obnoxious?

Ahhh, yes, the de-gauss wand. Been known to wipe credit cards, especially
when used as an offensive weapon or as weapon against an offensive person.
Been there, done that....
You are correct quite about the earth's magnetic field affecting CRT
monitors and TVs. Normally, when the TV/CRTs are shifted from one location
to another that they face 180° in the opposite direction, you will notice
some colour bleed because the mask screen has been magnetised to the
previous location. The longer it was sitting in the original location, the
more obvious the bleed when the orientation is changed.
If you have an old monitor, store it on its side or upside down for at least
6 months and then re-test. I can guarantee you will see colour bleed when
reconnected. If it is old, it could take more than 10 power cycles for the
in-built de-gausser to fix the screen, assuming it has a de-gausser and it
works. The wand makes the fix much faster.
Dave
PS. By wand, the one I use is an electro-magnet mounted in one end of 3" dia
(7.5cm) poly pipe, about 18" (45cm) long and has a press-switch on the other
end. It only has about a 25% duty cycle but since it was free, I can't
complain!

You must have bloody good eyes if you can detect a colour bleed in 0.2 of a
second
Personally, I think it would be caused by all the colours running to the
bottom after a long storage lol
