[sclug] TopPosting Was: Helping others into FOSS/Linux

Hi

Are those (usenet netiquette) people serious? I personally hate it when people 
reply at the bottom of an email and I have to scroll down to read it. If I 
want to know the context of the reply I just scroll down to get it, but in 
most cases I dont so I save myself a whole heap 'o RSI from excessive mouse 
button twiddling :-)
