A suggestion for responding to posts on s.a.a.... please put the quotes at the bottom!



Hey, I know it's largely a matter of style, but when I'm reading these
threads, I'd much rather see NO quoting or the quoted message put at the
bottom! That way I can see YOUR responses without scrolling. I've
gotten lazy in my old age and if the post has the long quote at the top,
and your message is invisible, I just skip it----and YOUR words of
wisdom don't enlighten me!

So, if you want more people to read your thoughts/remarks, put 'em at
the top, make them the lead of the story!
