Re: [Nolug] passport account? wanna download something for me?

So basically you're saying that you're still stuck back in 1996, while most
of us have progressed 12 years in the future to 2008. :P The thing is,
when an email thread goes on, I don't need to be reminded what I wrote 5
minutes ago by reading through 5 pages of nested quotes. Show me the meat
and potatoes of the message, and I'm on my way. Most email clients these
days put everything at the top, and if 5% of the people out there use
something that puts it at the bottom, who are they to complain? Did they
ever consider that the other 95% of the people in the world get really
aggravated having to scroll down to read their message? :)
