RE: [Nolug] help with long email threads

Hi Ron.

Yes, people read top to bottom, that's why top posting makes sense. The
post is what they want to read. The rest is just there for reference. Most
of the time there's no need to read it.

TP is Evil because people read top-to-bottom, not bottom-to-top.

Bottom- and Inline- posting, with judicious use of snip, is The
One True Way, and anyone who doesn't should be banished to Outlook
Hell.
