This has to be the worst habit I have EVER seen. How would you like to read a book where the first paragraph was at the end of the book and each subsequent paragraph came before it until you finally got to the beginning of the book, while each individual paragraph maintains the standard downward flow of text. That would be a pain in the arse. The natural flow of the entire e-mail should be just like anything else we write in this world (in English, at least), which is DOWN. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet - Available for IA32 (Intel x86) and Alpha architectures - IA64, PowerPC, UltraSPARC, and ARM architectures under development - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
