    I frankly don't know what the big deal about top posting is ....... If I
    am following a thread I know pretty well what is going on and as a reader
    of posts I find it irritating having to scroll down very far to read the
    relevant content of the post. Intelligent quoting goes with bottom
    posting ...... The way most people quote it's a pain in the *** to scroll
    down trying to find what they are saying, especially when it amounts to a
    sentence here and a sentence there interspersed within a bunch of quoted
    material. I will always top post because that is the way I prefer to read
    a post .... I can always reference the material below if necessary. Guess
    I have that defective gene! Fortunately the email Nazis are not yet in
    control to the degree that I have ever been bounced for top posting!

     ........ If you need reference quotes ..... read all the previous posts
    on this subject It was not worth the bother of repeating them....

            There are a number of superior mail clients for windows. I have tried
    virtually all of them and find Calypsomail to be the best of the lot for
    various reasons... mainly because I can shut off HTML and prevent scripts
    from running..... Send me a post in HTML and it gets trashed without being
    opened unless I have a damn good reason to open it.
            As a user in transition I use Windows for my mail to prevent the chaos of
    having mail saved in a bunch of different programs. Occasionally I use one
    of the Linux programs if I have downloaded mail recently and the
    probability of something important coming through is low. I suspect quite
    a few others do the same. I would dearly love to have a Linux version of
    Calypso ..... I think I'll try it under WINE tonight.
