Top posts is better. Who in their right mind wants to scroll down a long thread just to read two lines of a message! You better start learning better ways to save time and frustration in this world where information overload is rife! Bottom posts is fine for corporate emails because law requires these days to keep a full thread of messages to keep a record of what the management is doing.

That's what I like about the QuoteCollapse add-on for Thunderbird. It collapses quoted material in a post to just the first line of the most recent quoted material. There is a toggle so that one can expand the quoted material if one needs to have a refresher of what the conversation is about. I know Agent has the ability to mute quoted text as well and I'm sure that there are other newsreaders that can do it too. So your argument of having to scroll through lots of text doesn't hold water. Though I do agree that more people need to get into the habit of trimming down what they are quoting to what is relevant to their reply. -- Roy Smith Windows 7 Professional Thunderbird 3.1.7 Monday, January 31, 2011 5:24:17 AM |

Trim your quotes. This is Usenet, not Jeopardy.

There is absolutely no need to follow the entire thread because all you need to do is to respond to that particular post you have read. If it is not clear from it what he/she is talking about then there is no need to respond. For example, my this post is dealing with your message only. There is no need to read any other messages in the thread to know what you are about. Can you imagine when you have 50 or more messages in one thread? How far do you go to read all that crap?
