Re: [GENERAL] move to usenet?

[Dennis Gearon]

I prefer NOT to have to scroll down to the bottom of an email anyway. I 
think discussion list emails like ours need to be like your medical 
records, the most important, recent stuff is at the top.

I'm not exactly sure what full quoting is.

I agree that many messages are not formatted according to Usenet
conventions, but I normally attribute that to Windows users who know
nothing about the Internet. Thus, top-posting and 
full-quoting are rife all
across Usenet.
   

David,

What is the point of bottom posting anymore? I thought it had to do with turn-around time so that you could re-read whatever it is you wrote a "long time ago". I highly doubt you would know, but is there an easy way to make Outlook 2000 (not Express) bottom post? I've searched groups.google.com for it and found only things like "Copy & paste your signature", etc.

Full-quoting is just a pain when it comes to searching on google, since a reply may only consist of quoted messages and then a "read the whole message" link.
