Rossano, You are right on point in your reply. I would much rather spend my=20 time writing about other subjects. When you are disabled and in a lot of=20 pain every movement and keystroke hurts. The original format was to=20 place replies at the top of the message. Putting a reply in the middle=20 of a post is appropriate when it enhances the readability. But bottom=20 posted replies do nothing but waste time and energy. You scroll down=20 through dozens of lines and here is a one line response that means=20 nothing. Argh! That is very frustrating so I don't read messages where a=20 reply is posted on the bottom. This means that the person posted the=20 original message is possibly losing out because of plain rudeness. I am a right and wrong, black and white, law and order person. No I=20 am not going to go there as that is getting in to politics. And yes=20 spell checkers work but like most things in this world you have to use=20 common sense. If you have just randomly added words without checking=20 them you will end up with a spell checker that is no better than a bunch=20 of monkeys randomly typing on a bunch of typewriters. I am not referring=20 to you personally. I appreciate your time. Thanks, rich!

Wait: I see why it seems importan= t to many, and understand pros and cons of both top and bottom (and center!= oh gosh!) posting. But to me it's just nonsense.
