And you did your best to make part of it a slur of some
sort.

Nope.

Does Outlook express even allow the user to the option to
have the cursor after quoted text?

Yep. I use OE, and I snip and put the reply any place I want to, like this
reply.

Sorry. I wasn't clear. Does OE allow the user the option of defaulting
to after quoted text? For example, Outlook doesn't have this option at all.
Netscape does, but inexplicably defaults to top-posting.

Even if it did, it would not trim, so the problem would only be half solved.

It all comes down to the fact that it is so easy to place your post where
you want it, and trim at the same time, it is just pure lazy (and self
important) to not do so.

I prefer to associate with people who are not busy-bodies.


You mean like a person who replies to someone else's post for the sole
purpose of critiquing how they post?

Which one? The WWII documentary, or the Hollywood one? The former is by
far the best.

Actually, Slim Pickens had been in 34 movies (by my count) before Dr.
Stangelove. You must not be as old as me.

Yeah, I think that was. And Slim Pickens' first role, too. The story,
as I understand it, was that Peter Sellers was originally going to play
the bomber pilot, but he fell on the set and was injured just before
shooting of the B-52 scenes was to start. Slim Pickens was a stage hand
and Stanley Kubrik heard him talking. His thought was, "That guy
wouldn't even have to act!"
