can it also enable one to post at the bottom in line with usenet
conventions??


I'd say so, I just prefer not to. =D

There aren't any newsreader I know that begin reading at the bottom of the
message!

It's your choice, but you'll find that the posters who are here for
the gardening chat, and want to be understood in multiple-poster
conversations, use bottom posting so that other readers can make sense
of the thread and join in it.

Most regulars here make an effort to include new posters by replying to
them however awkwardly their message is presented, but eventually stop
bothering if a top poster makes no effort to learn how to help group
conversations flow logically and economically for everyone's benefit.
