Be honest now, when you opened or first viewed this message, what part of
the body of this reply did you see first?


I saw the answer first, then I scrolled down to see the question, and
finally back up to re-read the answer. Thanks, I guess.

By the way, NOD32 can be configured to stop announcing that it has
checked your post prior to submission. We don't really need to see
that.


Why scroll when ctrl+end and ctrl+home are instantainious?


Why would you want to jump all the way to the end of the post? I've
never yet seen anyone put the attribution line down there. If you're
looking for the attribution line and the specific context of the post
being replied to, you can't jump to the end. You have to move down
until you find those things, whether by scrolling or other means.
