Scroll a bit upwards, to read you message 3. Then scroll all the way to the top, to read mine. I can hardly say it is *logical* to read a thread backwards. Another example: try to name one forum/BBS system that displays the newest reply on the top when viewing a thread.   BTW, how did you like my HTML? I bet you enjoyed it.   You just don't understand that most people dislike top-posting and HTML messages for a reason. You've got every right to use whatever you wish in your personal mails, but this is a public list, try to be considerate mate.   -- Joe On 10/30/05, Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I post mine on top so I assume that is top posting.  Correct?  Now you will > see what I mean by mixing the two.   LOL > > Dale > > > Ted Kaczmarek wrote: > On Sun, 2005-10-30 at 03:31 -0600, Dale wrote: > I agree with your reasons but some of the others have reasons too.

Sometimes money can't even buy a gun...   I did see a forum once that lets you put the posts in reverse order, most recent at the top.  I would sort of like that.  I'm on a very slow dial-up and I can likely read the new post before the rest of the page can even load up. I'm not a rocket scientist but I can usually remember what's going on in a thread or list like this one.  If I don't remember it, then I wasn't following it anyway. How you like this on the bottom?  LOL Dale
