Subject: Re: Whats a reasonable collection?
Personally, I would rather see a persons comments *above* the quoted
material. That way, I read instantly if I am interested rather than have to
scroll down. And yes, I am lazy although I would sometimes prefer to call
it
efficient :).

format of e-mail reply is by far considered the "old style" (kind of
fitting for a classic computing list) It was the M$ backward'isation (new
technical term) of putting replies at the top of an e-mail implimented in
Outlook that forced most folks to change. Netscape Communicator used to
default to replies/comments at the bottom, but now defaults to the top.
(thankfully you can change that for those of use who have relied on e-mail
long before e-mail was cool.)
And now I'm stuck using bloody Lotus Notes which also defaults to putting
my reply at the top, and refuses to insert a > before each line of the
original message. - Hmmm... I'm sounding more and more like a crochety old
fart. <grin> It's noce to be able to read linearly through an e-mail.
