[at-l] In the interest of loooooong posts



It's worse when there's no clue at all what the post said that the next
person is responding to.  I hate that!  I'd much rather have the original
post on the bottom so that I can refer to it at will.  Also, I hate the ones
where they quote the original poster line by line, then fill in their
responses in between.  I have a hard time distinguishing between the two
because there are seldom any spaces in between.

anklebear, who proudly leaves the original post dangling at the bottom of
her response  <G>
