-Thufir {^,-} Joanne

Isn't saide posting normally done to the left?

I assume you mean Said posting, which is usually only done in Egypt.

And I forgot to mention. Since Said posting is usually done in Arabic,
a right to left script, it is indeed done on the left, so Bob is quite
correct. However, as Joanne was posting in English, which uses a left
to right script, she is perfectly correct.

Doesn't everyone know this?
