top posting is better

[KE7FEG]

I too have eye problems and to be honest, after about
the first responder (first RE:) I love the top posters
because usually by then I KNOW the message almost too
well, if interested at all. 

Complicated/multi item? posts should be inline, but
PLEASE hit the ENTER/Return bar a couple times or
someother way of denoting YOUR RE: message part(s) It
sure helps us with less than perfect eyes!

Thanks

ps I played around with a couple readers and yes
Technomage has a point! They are relatively slow, miss
state words, especially ones they don't recognize. And
somewhat like CW, er, Morse Code at times.

/// sample separator I sometimes use on RE's.

Cyclists should expect and demand safe 
accommodation on our public roads, 
just as does every other user.  

Nothing more is expected. 

Nothing less is acceptable!

Long live Knoppix!!
