[Namron] Excessive replies

[Grimmie]

I hate some to send a message and I have to go look 
for the email that they are referencing  to see what they 
are talking about. I do not save email list postings so 
I have to go to the website to see what they are talking 
about or I ignore the email because they deleted 
the quote of the email they are replying to.  That is 
what a reply is for. Set your email program to put 
your post at the top not bottom.
