"Pearl Harbor" still sucks...

I'd have to disagree on that one. While I've never met him myself, a friend
here in NJ who was dying of cancer met him on the set of ER (she worked for
J&J, who supplied a lot of the props for the show -- employees could visit
the set). While she was in there in Hollywood, he arranged for her and her
young daughter to take his limousine to a Hollywood extravaganza that he
wasn't going to attend. They walked up the red carpet and both had a ball.
He wrote and called her regularly before she died, and sent a HUGE basket of
roses to her funeral. He is apparently a very caring and genuine human
being, who just doesn't give a rip about Hollywood glamour.

Some good O-2 footage(and rotary-wing footage as well) in BAT*21.
Took my first airplane ride in an old O-2 so that may be why I like it
so much.

Who can forget The Right Stuff?
Pancho Barnes
The Rocketeer has some cool Gee Bee footage along with other classics.

Actually, both are pretty good. The WWII documentary is one
type of film and the Hollywood movie is another.

1) It is considerate of your correspondents.

2) Presumedly you want your posts read or you wouldn't make them. Some
people will ignore top posts. I usually will not, but if in a hurry, I
will.

3) Top posting causes cancer, hair loss, bad breath and Communism.

Not to mention flatulence.

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.

OE is primarily an email application (based on Outlook). In email, I think,
the idea is to put replies at the top.

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 get irked when people send emails that have six or so emails embedded. You
have to open them all to get to the message the sender wants you to read.
Novices don't realize you can forward the last one, that you don't have to
forward the whole damn thing.

Well, best wishes to you too.

2. I look at subject lines, if the subject is interesting
I'll read it. Along the same lines, don't you hate it when
a friend sends you an email with the message nested about
four fwd:fwd:fwd:fwd deep.

Yes; it is inconsiderate--like top posting.

3. Bottom posting is the proper way to put milk on the
store shelf, sell the oldest first. The rest is just an
urban legend. Halitosis is better than no breath at all.

Top posting is lazy and careless. I generally avoid associating with lazy
and careless people, don't you?

I wonder if he fills out his logs from the bottom up?

It saves your readers' time when they can see the minimal relevant
context (the specific words you're responding to) along with your
response, in a logical sequence.

The operative phrase here is "logical sequence".

Imagine a book in which the chapters were laid out 1,5,6,7,2,3,4.

Okay, _some_ do that.
