One gets used to doing things a certain way, or forgetting that others prefer bottom or inline posting if one doesn't post much. I guess I should be aware of what kinds of judgements folks are making of me just because their mail client is smarter than mine. On the other hand, constantly having to keep in mind that folks are looking for an excuse to castigate others, like I did to that other guy, is a depressing point of view. It might be an interesting exercise to write a mail client in ruby that could clearly show a visual queue, about who is replying to what, probably using > symbols, that is more than just two levels and easier to read for those with low vision like me. Maybe there's a mail client that enforces bottom posting, without making the replies hard to separate who said what, and that works on pc and mac and can import from Microsoft Oaflook, but I have enough worries and troubles being laid off and counting the days till I am living on the street. --0-973309401-1246548759=:746--
