OK Graham I have OE set up (I think). It is subscribed to whatever it is
calling General Questions here... but when I tried replying to your message I
had no clue what to type in as the "send to" email address. Nor do I know
how to subscribe only to my threads. Or is the idea that I will be d/l all
messages in all threads? I'd rather just subscribe to my own. With all the
MVPs here there is precious little that I can contribute to other threads,
and I can easily do a search when I do want to post about a particular
problem.

As you are now posting regularly to the forum, you may find it more
convenient to access the NNTP server directly. The following link
explains how to do that for Outlook Express -
http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm Not only is it infinitely faster than
the web portals but the posts
and your replies are stored locally. Give it a whirl and see what
you think. --

Contrariwise, I have to scroll to the top to read the new comments;
google groups takes one to the bottom of the message, and this is
the only one of the five newsgroups I read that uses top-posting.

Because the issue of top vs. bottom posting can provoke heated
discussion, I started to post something yesterday and then thought
better of it. But I also prefer top-posting for the reasons Graham
mentioned. Yes, it is illogical and does make reading more
difficult for people who come to the thread late, but for those
who are following it actively, it is far more efficient.
Not only do I hate to scroll to the bottom of a long thread only to
read "Thanks!" but occasionally I scroll to the bottom and don't
seem to find any new content; this illusion is caused by the fact
that the poster added his message within the area of quoted
material (blank lines) set off by characters, making it appear
to be part of the previous message.

I hate not being able to edit your posts..... I meant the reverse
of what I just posted. I can happily top-post if that's
acceptable...I just figured that bottom-posting was
netiquette...ok over and out.
