Opps, did I offend you? If you read my posting carefully,
I didn't insinuate nor insult you in any manner, in fact,
I've been using pine myself for the last 6 years or so and it's
still my preferred mail reader :)
I'm just saying that for certain software and certain people
(who do not know how to "tweak" the software), they find it
easy, normal, convenient to top-post.
Sorry, if you get the wrong idea from my mail. I was just
trying to be fair to both advocates and denouncers of
top-posting.

If I sound insulting or insinutative, I'm sorry :)
ps: it's not a good idea to post when you feel angry too :)
