It's 2010.

If you're still using Pine then you're going to feel consequences a decade
after technology grows.  It's like people complaining Windows 95 won't
support VMware VIC.  Technology moves, keep up.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but the reality of the situation is things
change.

It's not a problem, I don't think, most of the people on this list top
post. At the very least its the method I prefer, it makes it easier to keep
up with an on-going conversation.

Thanks,

On the topic of Top-Posting...

In the Gmail world, many times things that are replaced with

- Show Quoted Text -

in an alternate, smaller, insignificant font sometimes don't grab your
eyes when responding.  Sorry for that.

Further, I'm on about six lists.  I have one that despises top posting,
one that despises bottom posting, and another that despises interstitial
posting.

I'm not motivated to keep up with it all.

If it's a big enough problem, then I'll just stop posting altogether if
that's what the community wants.
