Top posting? Bottom Posting? Who cares? Really?
What are we trying to achieve here? Stop and think about it for a moment.
This is a forum for us to share knowledge, experience and know-how with each
other.
This forum is kept alive by posts from people who give up their time to
post. They don't have to post, they do it as a favour. A donation of time,
as it were.
Complaining about how people post to this forum, is like giving a hundred
bucks to charity, in ten dollar notes, and they complain the want two
fifties instead.
Would you give again? I know I wouldn't.
Most people on this list are pretty smart, and know how to scroll up, and
some even know how to scroll down.
You get a response to your question posted by somebody who is doing us all a
favour. Take it and be happy. Don't complain about how you got it.
That's just being ungrateful.
Regards
Vernon

There is no relevant updates to the technology of email that would
require me to stop using pine to read it.
The changes aren't in SMTP or POP, but rather the client applications.
Clients today are predominately top posting. Clients years ago used bottom
posting.
So this decade of technological progress you were referring to is the
default location of the cursor? ;)
