[asterisk-users] top posting again [was: Re: CDR Design]

[Andrew Thomas]

Well, it seems this opened one large can of worms.

Anyway, just to repeat my previous plea - and to echo David's request - can we please stop all this 'top post' rubbish and move on with our lives?

Thanks and Merry Christmas
Andy

If I notice that someone has started a bottom post, I will follow. But,
if I am the first, I will top post.

When I look at a new email, I don't like to scroll to the bottom to find
out what is new.

If you know of a mail reader which will automatically scroll to the top
of the latest info, let me know. If there is a technological fix,
perhaps these threads will die down.
