I agree. I prefer top posting in those cases because then I don’t have to scroll through *pages* of text that I’ve already read just to find one or two lines of text. I’m at the point now that if I can’t see the reply on the first page of an email (which given my screen size and font combination is about 60 lines), I ignore it (and silently curse bottom posting). ;-) TTFN - Guy
