Huh, we had a fidonet feed, which was a beast to configure and have work
reliably. I don't recall ever seeing top posting, at least not enough to
recall. As I just posted, at 300 baud, you posted where your cursor
fell. Now I feel old. My first foray online was on a teletype 43, which
cost a small fortune in 1978 dollars. Try moving your cursor up on one
of those. If you quoted, you quoted the whole darn letter. :) Ric
