Before http and www, there was uucp (unix-to-unix copy). You could send e-mail and usenet messages without an 'internet'. daestrom

Usenet is an offshoot of old 'bulletin board' systems. Starting out on UN*X machines at universities, it used UUCP to transfer batches of messages from machine to machine. That was pre IP-protocol days. Browsers > were developed and threading became a reality and attaching messages to your > reply became unecessary, except for clarity of response. Change that to 'news readers' and you'd be right. 'Browsers' were developed for the WWW sometime later. The simple proof of that is if you're reading in google groups or such, you're actually reading a page of html text. The server at google has taken the news-server messages and stripped and reformatted them into html for serving out to a web browser. When you reply to a message using google groups, google's server takes the response from your 'post' message to the web server and puts its own news header on it and sends it to various news servers around the world. > > Top posting has always been encouraged by all browsers in order to keep > headers with the their respective text and the latest posted information at > the position the post was opened, by your modern browser. Now you're just making stuff up. The 'headers' are not normally put in the text window but in a separate section not normally viewed by humans. For example in my news reader, I don't see any 'headers' in the text window. To view the headers I simply use a menu option. Each news server that sends a message adds its own address onto the header but that has nothing to do with 'top posting'. daestrom
