What readers are you guys using that makes it so hard to scroll to the
new text? For me it is a keystroke, no more..

I don't have a problem, still, people should trim to relevent text,
not just tack on their comments.

But if I open a post and the first thing I see is "I would use paprika" ...
I just move on. I don't feel like reading all the text below to see
what comment they're responding to. I want to see "What spice
would you use in this dish" then the paprika comment. In a perfect
world. I don't read top posts with rare exception.

I'm using the same reader sf uses and what she's using for arguments
for top-posting are all stupid. There is no logical argument for top
posting and there is only a few very rare occasions when a whole post
needs to be left intact.

You have a single keystroke that goes to the next non-quoted line? Does
it skip blank lines?

ROTFLMAO. If all you want to do is read the new text, what difference
does it make where it is?

Cheers, Phred.
