Not in my universe.

Read and write from top to bottom, like every
civilized and even non civilized society on earth.

Trim the non-important, overly covered, headers, blah blah.

Or not. Just depends on if you want people to read you.

The idea is in usenet, you just pop down to the last post. The theory
is all the wonderful information is presented in chronological order.
However, some people insist on trimming and some don't.

The usenet reader in the pre-WWW days were very crude. Even mail was
primitive to the point where you had to specify the entire path to
send a message, and messages were strictly ascii. You used uuendcode
and decode to send binaries.

       I didn't use email, I used Fidonet and Powernet,
Power net had great ANSI graphics support, and I
wrote an ANSI editor that added some to "The Draw".
