as the situation seems to require.
The one argument I won't buy is, "It's Tradition." This is high
technology, folks, not Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe! We should always be
ready to adapt our techniques to the changing situation.
You may find that the changing situation has, in fact, been forced upon you
by Microsoft.
The default mail sending format for OE is HTML and it 'works' by ordering
the messages with vertical lines to the side of the messages. Unless you
know how to
get rid of that formatting then you are 'forced' to reply at the top of the
post.
Since the majority of people use Microsoft products and are 'novices' they
have been forced to accept this as the 'norm'. As a result you are being
forced to adapt your techniques to the 'changing situation' as required by
Microsoft.
