Yes, I just left a support list for my own mail program
because I couldn't stand the rigid insistence on one, and
one only, method of posting.  Since I read in a window, I
rarely scroll past old to get to new.  Another person on
that list believed there were no messages, simply strange
re-posts of original messages, he never scrolled to the
bottom of the post to discover differently, it was the only
time I ever smiled while dealing with conversational and
bottom posting on that list.
