Sorry for making a big deal about this, I got tired of this, so I
wanted to see what people prefer.
With that said, if somebody doesn't snip a message it may take longer to
download ( I can't imagine you could tell when we are taking bits of data)
A top post contains the same amount of data as a bottom post. So there
is no difference in size that way.
It could take longer to read if you have to look for the reply. That is
where I am lost. Do other mail programs always go to the bottom of the
thread ?
My program opens right to the top where if the person top posted I could
read it and move on. I just can't see bottom being faster.
If being charged for the net by minutes, may I suggest logging on,
downloading your messages and reading them off-line.

As far as announcing that you *plonk* somebody, I feel that this is a
mature discussion, and that by doing that you are not willing to come
with some understanding with the people you disagree with.

I will abide by with what the poll says, the majority rules.
