So, is there a newsreader that skips quoted text, and that would make
top/bottom posting irrelevant? Maybe newer versionsof OE? I'm still on
4.72

Gravity can display a fixed number of quoted lines (default four, but
you can set it to zero) and you can toggle this feature with a single
key-press while reading.

Sounds useful, but then I may get to see the gist of The Andy/IMM
threads..... Does make you wonder about the time the world spends scrolling
quotes, and the resources that are wasted.
