It's so sad that your sons no longer have any individuality... :(
Note the top post!
(AND the dripping sarcasm...)

I view the list's messages individually in kmail, not as a newsgroup and not with a threaded view. It matters not to me if someone top posts, bottom posts or inserts comments in the included text.
your choice
In fairness to those who make the "mistake" of top posting, many email clients (especially the free ones, like Yahoo mail) put you at the top of any included text when you do a "reply to".
still choice
It takes a bit of effort to invert that order. Also, most, if not all, corporate email exchanges use top posting, so insisting that users bottom post is forcing users to modify their behavior to satisfy the limits of the software (your threading newsgroup stuff).
Kind of like going to another country and refusing to observe their customs, use their language, eat their food or commerce with their coin.
Like I said above, I don't give a rip one way or the other. I just find it amusing that I can almost set my watch to the time that it takes someone to admonish "No top post, please!"
Almost like refusing to remove your shoes when entering an establishment where that action is required. Please, refuse to recognize accepted standards. It's the way to show that you are you. My sons both acted that way when they were 3-5 :^) -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org No virus found in this incoming message.
