[TenTec] Oh, But I Disagree

[Michael O. Hyder]

One thing I do appreciate (on further reflection) is for the reply to be in
the message BEFORE (or above) the original message.  That way I can scroll
down and see what the reply pertains to, but if not needed, I don't have to
ferret out the new thoughts.  This does not seem to be much of a problem on
this reflector, but on some others, you must scroll down to see the new..
