this is what john was talking about. my reply is neither above or below your message, it's mixed in. this could be confusing to some if their screenreader is set in a way not to read the > signs.Hi there, I find it easier if the reply is below the message to be read,
please explain what is so insulting about john's message? in point of fact, your implying that some folks don't have a memory, which could be just as insulting as you think john's message was.most of us have a memory and know what is being said, so why insult us?

I recognise that this does follow normal conventions on groups. In my view, it is not the best way for people using speech output on a PCtofollow a debate.Visually, there is the hint of bold or greater than symbols. Equally thesecan be read in Braille and establish where a new comment starts.I don't think most people using speech would get all punctuation read out.This means that the new comments are simply interspersed into the earlier note. This is not easy to follow. It is much easier to follow with top posting; if the person thinks it is necessary to add context from an earlier note , then addict, with lines saying "quote start" and "quote en". What do other list members thin?
