Hello, Red Hats:
After reading several messages in this thread, I feel compelled to dump in
my $.02 worth.
Someone stated that he/she will _not_ reply to 'top post' messages.
I am inclined to say that I will not _read_, much less reply to 'bottom
posts.' It makes no sense whatever to me to scroll through 50 lines of
previously posted text, when 8 times out of ten, the subject is the only
thing I need to see before reading the reply.
Sure, there are times (say, 2 out of 10) when I need to scroll down and read
something to pick up the 'meat' of the issue, and for those times I can and
will scroll down and read.
The rest of the time this is wasted effort. I am physically challenged and
barely have enough strength in my hands to use the keyboard and mouse. Fer
damn sure, I ain't gonna waste it unnecessarily scrolling and reading
something I've already read before.
And that's _my_ NSHO.
Regards,
Glenn
