Top posting? Bottom Posting? Who cares? Really? What are we trying to achieve here? Stop and think about it for a moment.
This is a forum for us to share knowledge, experience and know-how with each other. This forum is kept alive by posts from people who give up their time to post. They don't have to post, they do it as a favour. A donation of time, as it were. Complaining about how people post to this forum, is like giving a hundred bucks to charity, in ten dollar notes, and they complain the want two fifties instead. Would you give again? I know I wouldn't.
Most people on this list are pretty smart, and know how to scroll up, and some even know how to scroll down. You get a response to your question posted by somebody who is doing us all a favour. Take it and be happy. Don't complain about how you got it. That's just being ungrateful.
Regards Vernon

There is no relevant updates to the technology of email that would require me to stop using pine to read it.
The changes aren't in SMTP or POP, but rather the client applications. Clients today are predominately top posting. Clients years ago used bottom posting.
So this decade of technological progress you were referring to is the default location of the cursor? ;)
