I hate top posting.
If the reader doesn't know the current context, they can start at the
bottom and read up. For most people, reading [listening to] the current
comment is sufficient.
JMHO,
Donald.
No, you can't start at the bottom. You have to find the top of the
oldest section and read it from top to bottom, then zig-zag your way
back to the top, finding each section and reading it top to bottom, then
finding the next section, reading it from top to bottom, etc. Lookout
forces you to do this, and after about three responses it becomes
impossible to reconstruct the conversation. When you get added to a
thread late, heaven help you if you actually need to figure out how that
thread evolved.
But, if you would trim the extraneous comments from each layer, and only
keep the relevant material, it becomes much easier to look up who said
what and when in the thread. If you want to skip the previous material,
learn the keystroke to go to the end of the message.
This message has been rearranged to read in chronological order.
