I've been trying to explain to one of my windoze centric co-workers why
top posting is not appropriate and couldn't find the right words.  Thank
you!  List ettiquete has always been a contentious issue, right from the
beginning when we etched our missives using rock tablets (I vaguely
remember it 8^) but I've always read from left to right and top to
bottom and it's hard, for me anyway, to go at it backwards.
