cavity feature

That has to be the second most absurd excuse I've ever seen for top posting next to "that's where my cursor is so that's where I start typing".

Part of the blame for that though, I will lay on the bumbling halfwit who originally combined an email and news client into a single program.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole Anarchy on the Usenet thing. I'm hip to it, but...

So your common sense tells you to read from the bottom up? It also tells you not to delete that which you're not responding to for the sole purpose of wasting bandwidth and making posts hard to read? You've got some weird common sense there, Sporky.

A: People who top post.

Q: What is the worst thing about the Usenet?

So, what do you give for a reason to eschew top posting? Tradition?

That halfwit made it possible for many people who don't use Unix to enjoy the benefits of Usenet. Of course if that halfwit and others like them had avoided Windows in the first place we wouldn't be where we are now . . . without both the benefits and the disadvantages.

But what?

I typically delete everything except what is relevant to my reply, unlike most who post. That's in direct contradiction to your accusation. But I often top post because it makes more sense to do it that way.

Give me ONE good PRACTICAL reason, there BD. What's so horrible about it?

I already gave my reason. I don't know about you, but I read from left to right and from top to bottom. Top posting forces reading from the bottom up, which is usually a good enough reason for many people to simply ignore such posts. And quite often I do.

What is with your fixation on Unix? It has nothing to do with top posting or software. Usenet news and email are two different things with different common practices and behaviors and most software that tries to incorporate both into a single program usually does either one or the other, or even both, rather poorly.

...do follow along now, children...

It never makes sense to do it, on Usenet. Email is an entirely different matter. Hence one of the reasons combination news and mail clients were not a good idea.

It should be obvious to those with some common sense.

Here, these will help, if you let them.

I've had the same thing happen on several mold designs with '05. Fortunately, if I close without saving and re-open it all seems ok.

The Cavity function is unstable..

I've been using Cavity Feature for 4 years without a problem, so there have to be some subtleties here.

How or what do you try to do with Cavity that yields instability?

What are the symptoms?

Many Thanks - Bo
