Perhaps it is one of those things that southerners like doing,
scrolling
down all the time with maps etc.. There are of course three styles;
Top-Posting, Bottom-Posting and Interleaved-Posting (or In-line) and
their associated
acronyms.<br>
<blockquote>
Top-Posting style is also called TOFU (<i>text over, fullquote under)</i><br>
Bottom-Posting is also called MEAT <i>(message extended with
additional text)</i><br>
Interleaved-Posting is also called FRUIT (<i>free response using
integrated text</i>)<br>

( Scroll down for signature :-P )<br>

point here - i would argue that if i have to run a combined course for
VCE, where there is a large amount of marking and preparation, then i
