Remember when we used paper files? The MOST RECENT info was
placed on top, and when you file e-mail, the MOST RECENT is at the

And now we are supposed to place our MOST RECENT "news"
all the way on the BOTTOM????

Business correspondence and exchanges with someone who is providing
support are quite different from Usenet. In the first two it can be
quite reasonable to include previous correspondence.

But surely Usenet is a written version of a verbal discussion? It is
fast and the response can be quick. If I was talking to you I would not
comment on things before you said them - oh I don't know perhaps I
would! :-)
