What about writing replies on top?
I know, I know, it seems like a very silly thing, but why to do the extra
effort of going all the way to the bottom of the message when you really
wouldn't have to, if everyone were to put their replies at the top. Think
about it. Better yet, picture it! You open the message and that's it! All
you've got to do now is read ; )
You'd particularly appreciate it if you had some sort of RRS (or whatever
that is) like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tendonitis, etc.
My 2 cents,
Jay

Precisely! Shouldn't that support my suggestion then?

No as you don't read a book from the bottom of the page to the
top... :)

It was at the bottom (where I personally prefer it) - it starts
http://groups-beta etc etc. See it?
Bottom posting works well if folk snip properly - no scrolling necessary and
all messages in the right order.

Also, if you use a decent newsreader you can skip to the first line of un-
quoted text with a keypress.

With Thunderbird there's an extension called "Quote Collapse", it
collapses all of the quoted material into a [+] that expands and shows
all the stuff when you hit it.
So you don't even have to see the quotings unless you want to.

If the old message does not add anything to your reply cut it all!

Hmmm, could give you a hard time understanding wtf is going on

You are either a troll, or an idiot, or simply ignorant.
If it is one of the first 2, I apologize to the group for responding.
If it is the 3rd option, please enlighten yourself.
