Howdy, I am pretty sure Stanton does get it, and you mis-read him Kyle. It was probably an accident, but Stanton was commenting on the notion that top-posting forces your reader to work. Top posting for short messages is easier to read and that is the big advantage. Most people could configure their email program to top or bottom post. So, posting either way is about the same effort. Reading top posted replies is much easier, because the response is right there when you open the message. You don't have to scroll down to the bottom just to see what the new message says. That is such a waste of time. For long messages, it may add clarity and be worth the effort. It is nothing but make work on short messages and I would discourage it, plain and simple. Good day from someone who will try to resist furthering this thread, Ralph
