I have always found top-posting threads much easier to read, but I tend to
follow whatever the custom is where I am. I also believe that when I was
first on Usenet in the mid-80s, top posting was the norm. However, I don't
trust my memory much better than you do.

In these groups and some others I read that are not on Microsoft, it often
means reading (and replying to) alternating top and bottom posts in a
single thread.

But guess what: I can handle it.

..necessary when ,backwards talk even can I

Try using a real newsreader instead of a POS MS program. You won't
have that problem or many others.
