That is okay as I see your name and scroll down. However, often I browse
through the list click, read, delete. If someone bottom posts the middle step
is often skipped if I am in any kind of hurry because I do not scroll unless
the comment catches my interest. If I can not see it in the window without
scrolling it can not do that.
Bottom posting is something that is left over from the old dial up and download
uucp days. Come on guys it is not 1972 anymore.

Yes, I saw your comment about that earlier (yesterday?) and forgot to add
that to the list. Since there are times when the original post neither
makes it to the list nor into the archives, some people may only have a
chance to see the URL in one of the replies to the original message. Is
this worthy of putting into the Graywolf FAQ?

================
Yes.
I must say most people are pretty good about quoting the original url. But
those are people that have been on the list for a while and realize it's a
problem. It would be good to put it in for newbies. Mention the reason, that
sometimes people do not see the original post and only see the subsequent replies,
so they need to see the url in the replies. And that has been a list etiquette
that has evolved over time to deal with that.
Also, as a reminder too, as sometimes people forget.
Other than that, sorry, I am an unrepentant bottom poster. :-)
Marnie aka Doe However, when I am just LOLing or something I snip the
original post a lot. Yous takes whats yous get. :-)
