You have forgotten that gentoo-user is a valuable archive site. |

I keep many old msgs to use much later. At that point a top to bottom |
| 16 |
reading order is preferred. |

Moreover, those who are most helpful here all prefer bottom (or in-line) |

posting. If you shun the wishes of a majority of the group and a vast |

"ignoredom". That seems to be a poor idea. |
