Interesting how so many people don't seem to see all the posts I see and all the posts I post.

I stated above in an earlier post that I agree email is not reliable for instant notification.

Also, when I search google group archives, it seems to me that posting at the top is better than having to read posting at the bottom.

So, why is posting at the top soooo bad?
