If you look above this is why I don't like bottom posting. I've done
it as an example. I use Free Agent, and when I bottom post the
previous posters info is at the very top, yet their post is at the
bottom. It becomes very complicated when the threads are long with
several posters.
....and like Catherine wrote, I really dislike the scolling that is
involved in a long thread, so I often skip the entire thing. Yes,
that's my perogative, and we all do as we feel. Thank goodness there
are not newsgroup police :)
take care, Linda
