R: Actually if you are reading the thread from top to bottom on the very
LAST post then IMO you are reading it incorrectly anyway as it would make
far more sense to start with the first post of the thread and work your way
into it if you chose to wait so long before reading it to begin with.. I
have never seen a NG where there weren't comments inserted throughout the
original post and in the moviemaker NG it is often necessary to do so. How
then can you rwad it from top to bottom.

I've heard the arguments thousands of times no need to repeat them again.
No I didn't even look to see that the message was cross-posted.
I am posting my comment from the moviemaker NG.
My rule of thumb is simple. If I am jumping into the middle of a thread I
post however the others are posting whether it be top or bottom posting. I
have more important things to worry about than complaining about how other
people are posting and correcting it because you think your position is the
ONLY position.
