Heck, I'm using [al]Pine, an ancient and very UNIX-y mail reader, and even it defaults to top-reply. The logic being you want to type out "Hi there," before you scroll down and start replying in-body.<br>
<br>
And THAT is the netiquette that was lost. You're not supposed to go all the way to the bottom and just start typing, you're supposed to go into the message, find the specific part you're commenting on, hit ENTER a couple times and start typing after that specific quoted text.<br>
<br>
I tried ot fight for inline replies back in the day, but as soon as we started letting our parents and siblings and other non-geeky people on the Internet... well, they outnumber us.<br>
<br>
Now if you reply in-line you have to actually go "Replies inline..." or people don't know what the heck you're doing.<br>
<br>
<br>
TL;DR: You're both wrong.<br>

Is there interest in a C++<br>
users group?<br>
.<br>
Maybe a quarterly meeting?<br>
There's a conference room<br>
where I have an office in<br>
Roseville that seats<br>
about 12 -15. I'm willing<br>
to provide that and some<br>
snacks, but would<br>
want someone else to plan a<br>
meeting.<br>
<br>
<br>
The list is growing:<br>

<br>
But there's nothing in this area. It's not<br>
practical to<br>
go to Denver or Chicago to talk about C++. <br>
How about a<br>
yearly or semiannual meeting? My offer to<br>
host still stands.<br>
<br>
Reminder: I do not respond to top-posted<br>
replies. <br>
