I HATE scrolling down to read the latest...

it is a free world.
do whatever you want but don't start crying when top posters are not read
by bottom posters (and vice versa).
you have the right to post, but nobody has the duty to read the postings.


Hehe... I've not shed a tear on usenet , nor in FIDO before
it...
I doubt many read my postings, but I post in case someone may.
If they don't wish to read my post because it is readily found as
soon as they open it (on top) that's OK...

I read the posts/threads that interest me, (top or bottom) , I
can't even IMAGINE anyone not reading a post that interests them
just because it is on the top..... but , I guess there are all kinds
here...

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

that email replies are put on top is due to the sick clients from one
bigger company.

Medication at the ready.... (I think I will be OK....)

top... newspapers in the library, MOST RECENT on top...invoices?
same.....calendars ? ...same....

and books? you expect the end of each page on top of the page?
if you want to put an analogy to real life then books or sheets of paper
are IMNSHO the best.

Nope, never mentioned books, - they are usually a continuous
story by one author, not separate events sequentially written by
separate people.. I would consider books very different from usnet
and a poor comparison as they are intended for a different purpose...
.....

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

it is threading. you know? na. probably not.

Guess not, but it still works for me...


Cheers! Thanks for your reply
