He said the way he posted he would save me three seconds because I wouldn't
need to scroll down.
But to read what he was responding to I would have to scroll down AND scroll
back up to reply, which would waste six seconds.
So in order to save the three seconds he said I would save, I have to respond
without knwing what he is responding to.
It's a bit like spending $50 bucks to save $5! Fact is there IS no right
way and wrong way. It all depends on the circumstances.
