Blame [OT]

[Aaron Grewell]

It depends.  If I'm doing stuff where I need the whole context (helping with 
technical problems or whatever) then top replying and leaving the whole thing 
can be the best thing.  For other stuff, not so much.  So I randomize, 
inevitably picking whatever will get the most tomatoes thrown my way in a 
given context.  Here I've done it both ways so as to make nobody happy.  It's 
almost as bad as Netscape Mail's "send as both HTML and plain-text" option.  
:-p
