And yet when I see the top-posted mails, most of the time I don't need to read the rest of the previously quoted message - especially if I'm on a roll and am familiar with the current thread. I guess if one is reading for a historical perspective then it makes more sense to put the reply at the bottom but then I found myself having to read the history over and over again. If I addopt bottom posting, I plan then to delete all but the most recent post to keep thing conscise. Actually I'm run into *MANY* of these huge long threads in a single message to have a "Mee to" or "+1" at the bottom That's why I found that style to be so inefficient and wasting of my time. Actually when you think about it, most blogs are all in reverse chronical order which to me is the same thing as top-posting and nobody seems to complain about that concept. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iEYEAREDAAYFAktW7HcACgkQWSjv55S0LfGvsQCfUgPSh/tMLIshq9+5RzqIpDfV h88AnRv5oMWRLIlCOaZ/CfSXtqyy9sXa =iFcp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
