Re: Top posting

Oh, dear. Does Sandia Labs not have fullscreen mailreaders yet?

On Usenet "tradition" was established very early (pre-1975 in many cases)
and is not optimal for today.

Hi:


I think I will just give up and start responding to emails by top posting
like everyone else, despite the fact that on USENET it is tradition to
bottom post.

When I bottom post on emails (in the "corporate" world) I get told by
people that they can't understand my formatting.

Oh, and not to mention that my standard ASCII email program trips up their
stupid Outlook!


Ugh!


P.S. What is the view on interleaved posting? Ie, responding per
sentence/paragraph in thick discussions?

Good day!
