I actually prefer to top post. I've got everything organized by threads and I read them. I can generally sort it out. When the questions and answers are deep in the bottom and get deeper and deeper then I tend to tune out and move on. This tends to happen when some individuals feel that they need to answer questions from 5 places in the thread in 5 separate emails. This makes for a dense forest of email threads that only a lawyer or scholastic appreciates. Also, consider that many are not native English language writers and lots of words may be discouraging. I do appreciate the comparison of top posting answers before questions from Norbert. A counter example - A = B + C The answer is first or on top. :-) Regards, Dave > > Pedro.
