Ok, i top post, just for you, :) |

Imagine someone who wasn't following the thread need to do to pick up this |
| 4 |
thread: |
| 5 |
1. Scroll all the way to the bottom, read Ted's message. |
| 6 |
2. Scroll a bit upwards, to read you message |
| 7 |
3. Then scroll all the way to the top, to read mine. |
| 8 |

I can hardly say it is *logical* to read a thread backwards. Another |
| 10 |
example: try to name one forum/BBS system that displays the newest reply on |
| 11 |
the top when viewing a thread. |
| 12 |
*B**T**W*, *how did* you like my HTML <http://www.google.com>? I bet you |
| 13 |
enjoyed it. |
| 14 |
You just don't understand that most people dislike top-posting and HTML |
| 15 |
messages for a reason. You've got every right to use whatever you wish in |
| 16 |
your personal mails, but this is a public list, try to be considerate mate. |

I don't think anybody is getting anal about it. I always |

this way, if someone doesn't want to help me with something, I |

It gets confusing when some top post and |

really wears out my mouse wheel. Go down, read a bit, |
