You surely have the freedom, but what Devdas pointed out has logic beyond freedom of choice. Normally in mailing lists/ usenets, threads follow a chronological order so that the flow of events are easier to follow. This is the convention. If all consecutive posts are in the reverse order (viz latest on top) then things are similar and many people accept. Except for support from some standard M$ mailers, this has not gained much acceptance. However very few appreciate a top post on a chronological thread, whatever be the order. Reactions may vary from expressions of annoyance to turning a blind eye ... Bish -- : ####[ GNU/Linux One Stanza Tip (LOST) ]####################### Sub : Bailing out from vi !
