I am happy to find that a few seem to agree with me. There is another problem which takes more time to solve: most email progs allow reply to sender, or reply to all. Some here get upset when they get the same message as a reply to them personally, and then get the same message on the list. You have to remember to go up top and ERASE the name of the original sender. I usually forget. The other, is to erase the "bottomers," the lines that tell you how to unsubscribe, etc., since they build like wildfire. I remember that a little more often, but like most, not very.

It is now time to take a stand. Top-posting, that is, posting ones reply above the quoted text, is a symbol of darkness. It represents evil.
Maybe, but it works better. It's easier to use, especially if you're using a small screen like I do at work. I hate clicking on a email header, then having to negotiate keyboard or mouse to scroll down the actual message, only to find that someone has added "me too" at the bottom. Quite often I start scrolling, and if there's too much junk at the top I don't even bother scrolling right down to see what has been written at the bottom. At least I always read what "top posters" have written to a thread I'm interested in.
