OK, for once and for all I am going to go back to bottom posting. I
belong to a lot of lists and some of them are going to give me a hard
time over bottom posting.I will quit them. There is no way I will ever
remember which lists are bottom posted and which are top posted. So
again I say, I wish the problem would just go away. Some lists say it
makes archiving easier and to me in these days of computers where you
press a button and the list can be upside down or right side up this
seems to me, not a valid argument. What ever makes reading the posts
easier makes the most sense. I have never liked top posting but did it
because of it being that was the way certain lists wanted it. I guess
it boils down to which lists are too much trouble to be on? Now I have a
habit to break.
