I'll grant that for someone new to a thread this is very true.

In the early days of this list, and the during the life of its 
predecessor, we knew each other and followed most of the threads.  
It's much quicker to catch the additional thoughts of a reply if 
it was on top.  The new shows in the display and did not require 
any movement to read.

But then for most folk who know me the word normal is not the first
to come to mind.  "I trust you'll stay Anatop of things." Moneypenney 

Maybe it's time to set a "norm" for the list.
