Charles, Please refrain from such off-topic posts. Top-posting is the only way almost all new and potential users have any knowledge of or experience with so they tend to assume that any non-top-posts are empty, either deliberately or accidentally. The nettiqutte link is so out-dated that it pre-dates hand-helds (phones, tablets and slates) which allegedly now accounts for around 80% of computer usage and none of which allow for anything other than top-posting. Until you are able to convince the majority of the makers of hand-helds to allow people to do things the old ways it seems unfair to exclude people from such a large potential (yet untapped) market. It might be easier to just return us to three decades before the end of the last century, and there is a LOT of appeal in that - except that we would then have to live through the 80's again!
Anyway, Charles' post is going off-topic into some ancient fantasy. Regards from Tom :) On 20 January 2016 at 16:04, Charles-H.
