yeah, I sure loved using Outlook in 1992...it worked great in wildcat before then, too. Reading posts from top to bottom does make more sense, hence the reasoning behind top posting. You read the important info first, and if you have such a piss-poor memory that you can't even follow a handful of conversations then you can look a little further to see the context. If you honestly have to re-read the context EVERY SINGLE TIME you read a message, well, perhaps see a doctor about your failing memory.
