Usenet is almost dead but e-mail lists abound (you are using one). Same concepts.
I know, but my point was, since we all use email to read email lists, let's get off the old usenet etiquette, and use email etiquette, which you will find yourself in the very minute minority that replies bottom post.
Doug, you *still* are missing the point! The *rules* written in the days of Usenet are *still* applicable today. Why? Because the reason for their existence hasn't changed. Originally there was Usenet *groups* now there are email lists. What's the difference? The names.

I second Bob on that! I do a lot of support and top posting is a *PITA*. It's like reading a book from bottom to top, right to left! It's "doable" but nor very confortable IMHO.
I'm not saying i have absolute truth, just sharing the view of somebody that do tech support since 15 years.
