Top posting vs. bottom posting
xntrick
as far as i can see there are buttons you shouldnt press (well in my case
anyway) along with who bungs a message across inbetween the replys...does my
head in but hear where ya coming from. The other thing that gets me is you
could have a message thats days old and it still opens whilst one thats just
48 hours old gives you the message "no longer on server" Weard...but thas
the net. Ok ill ask a 12 year old.
