     Another point I hadn't thought about. I am an admin and moderator 
for a web forum and with the common software used all posting is done 
top to bottom, you scroll down to get to the later posts. Also whenever 
you quote a previous post, it is automatically put in the top of the box 
and your text starts underneath.
