From: Michael B on 22 Dec 2009 20:43 Your position, at the bottom, assumes that your responses will be something a reader actually seeks by scrolling past all your other trolldom utterances. I actually scrolled down to see if you had posted something relevant to the topic. But, no. I was disappointed, but not particularly surprised. Go back to the bottom where you are comfortable, more easily ignored.

In USENET that's not true, and a reader coming across a thread for the first time wouldn't know what went before and would then, logically, go to the top of the post and start reading from there in order to traverse the correct chronological sequence of posts _if_ the earlier posts were located at the top of the stack. Just like picking up a book you had never read before, would you expect chapter 10 to be at the beginning and chapter 1 at the end? --- >Just look at a thread where epople haven't trimmed and the big inserted >lexical levels are hard to pick out and the outside lexical levels are >useless as nobody can count that many right carets to figure out who said >it.

Let's see...that was an "02" in 6800, a "20" in 6809 and in 68000 hmmmmmm... assemblers got cheaper. Always use one before a CLI. 808x I wouldn't want to see the code for that POS. Not assembler friendly. LOL "daestrom" <daestrom(a)twcny.rr.com> wrote in message news:hgtc1o02tdn(a)news5.newsguy.com...
