[LMB] List Love

[Marilyn Traber]

mail is a tool, and I am a tool user [literally, my first career was as 
a machinist.]

Tools do what you need at your command, nothing more nothing less. Until 
Mike from 'the moon is a harsh mistress' comes to pass, my computer and 
programs do as I command [in general, I am working in xp *sigh*]

If it is determined that for the purpose, top posting is de rigeur, then 
top posting it is. I conform to bottom posting on this list nominally to 
not rick the boat, though this frequently means I have to wade down 
through several screens of dreck to get to the new information. I would 
personally prefer to get right to the new goodness and not have to wade 
through dross.

And in general I will probably go back to bottom posting.
