Same concepts.
I know, but my point was, since we all use email to read email lists,
let's get off the old usenet etiquette, and use email etiquette, which
you will find yourself in the very minute minority that replies bottom
post.
Doug, you *still* are missing the point! The *rules* written in the days
of Usenet are *still* applicable today. Why? Because the reason for
their existence hasn't changed. Originally there was Usenet *groups* now
there are email lists. What's the difference? The names.

I second Bob on that! I do a lot of support and top posting is a
*PITA*. It's like reading a book from bottom to top, right to left!
It's "doable" but nor very confortable IMHO.
I'm not saying i have absolute truth, just sharing the view of somebody
that do tech support since 15 years.
