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, Larry Barber

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.
Apologies to Gerald for any offense.  I'm a dinosaur.  But I certainly
keep up with technology. This is done with Squirrelmail for convenience,
but I have a plugin for "old timey" quoting for Outlook at the office.

If I'm offending people, I'm the one who should stop posting.
