Do any of these recommended readers have the following features:

1. Ability to put latest comments on top of posting. I don't want
to trigger endless debate, I just want to look at the latest comments
at the top.

2. Have the "post pane" as a deep VERTICAL pane - as opposed to most
which have post as a Horizontal pane at bottom.

I like to skim tons of threads - nice long vertical pane with lastest
comments on top is ideal.

Thanks !

The Stacked View Extension should be acceptable

It is best to bottom post to keep continutity in the thread. I hate it
when I have to scroll up and down to read what the top-poster is
replying to. The only thing worse is failing to quote at all.

agreed. But another worse thing is unnecessary FULL quoting - a
widespread terrible posting behavior.

Another worse thing are the many misconfigured OEs which produces
terrible linefeeds...
 
Thanks for everyone's posts - the Stacked View Extension on Mozilla
seems like it's going to work.

Now if I could only "change the world" to become top posters.... (just
joking !!!!)

Just a friendly FYI - repeated top posting will get you kill-filed in many
groups.

So my post here is a bottom post ? I hope I have this correct. I
certainly want to follow standard protocol. Thanks for comments.

Hello Ed

I just reviewed the entire thread. I couldn't help but notice that your
entire contribution to this discussion was to criticize the style of my
helpful reply.
