Problem with NRPE

[Joe Rhett]

Frankly, I used to feel that way and now I'm starting to lean the other
way.  After having to scroll down 5 or 6 pages past not only the original
content by also the various tag-on advertising that someone does only to
find a single line update .... it's stupid.

Besides, I have a threaded mail viewer.  So I can claim that yours is
even worse. Which one is easier to read?

BLEAH!  Compare.

The end result is the same amount of text, but you are not forced to
re-read everything you already read.  However, if you wish to review
previous notes, they are available for you.

Top-posting is the only sensible way to conduct one-sentence responses.
