Pretty much what I was about to point out. Sadly, the reason so many people seem to have adopted top-posting is a certain LookOut MUA which does it by default. It's akin to answering a question before it's been asked. It makes more logical sense to read replies *after* the original posting. As for "scrolling down is a waste of time and energy" how much time/energy is wasted hitting CTRL-End (or whatever your GUI's key combination for "jump to the bottom" is)? Perhaps we're all supposed to start reading Lord of the Rings backwards? -- Paul Walsh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
