By George I think that's a better answer than I had!! <grimace>
It's eMail, Pepsi, Ubuntu, Star Trek, Child of God, and earth tones.
You do have some valid points here, but I think I must admit, while I understand people have
differing opinions on the issue, it's MY humble opinion that since reading consists of beginning to
end, left to right, top to bottom, eMail would be the same.... left to right, top to bottom. Top
is the beginning of any page or article one reads, and bottom is the end of such. Plus it is in the
list rules.
