Not looking for anything - just saying it is what it is. You won't find me defending M$ software designs - I was simply pointing out that the product is setup that way and nobody over the years has made any effort (?) to have it altered. I wonder why..... :) > One final thing... you keep calling this a newsgroup.

It acts like a newsgroup. And - funny ha ha - its name begins with the word "news", not "mailing". BTW - what does a mailing list look like? AND - instead of coming down on people who top post, why not come down on the vast majority of people of DON'T post ONLY the pertinent part(s) of the past emails in their own response? Cutting down on the amount of chaff in the postings here would certainly eliminate the biggest reluctance to having to bottom-post. To scroll thru 60-100 lines of quoted and re-quoted text only to read a two line contribution is tedious and wasteful. Let the new mantra be - "Snip Your Posts!" PS - note the bottom post.
