Default Request for Responders to Posts

I agree Peter T, not sure what the first responder said as by the time I had
read my original post I lost interest!

This is a long established group with a large archive where the clearly
established convention is to top post. Fortunately at least 90% of
responders are considerate enough to adhere to the convention.

Is it possible for replies to posters to arrange for their replies to
appear at the top, rather than after the original message.

In my newsreader (Windows Mail) you can disable the options-advanced-
Compose reply at bottom of original message

A sore subject, my friend. Usenet has long had a standard of bottom
posting, and in my view that's more logical anyway. If I'm going to read

a
thread, I want to start at the beginning. Unfortunately there's no way
to
a) force people to snip and edit preceeding text appropriately, or b)

force
people to bottom post, ergo the standard is hard to enforce and rarely
practiced. I, for one, will always bottom post.
