Re: BRINKS MAYBE UP FOR SALE REAL SOON

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Guess you haven't used Usenet much.

Yep, it's faster, the reponses are on top, most of the thread is contained
BELOW ... you don't have to read it but it's there for context IF you need
it should a thread get split or  partially expire and disappear.

If you've been following a conversation you DONT need to scroll...if your
memory sucks and you do...then ginko biloba may be prescribed.

You don't find it incredibly annoying to have to scroll down on every
message to see the reply hidden there?

Lazy dunno...faster definitely! I work a lot of usenet groups everyday so
top posting is much more effective.
