Re: New rules for business correspondence

[Mike Starr <mike -at- writestarr -dot- com>]

And there are those of us who have a genuine disagreement with that "rule". If I'm following an email thread, I've already read the previous content and have no desire to have to scroll through the quoted content to get to the actual new content. Why is vertical scrolling considered evil on web pages but not in email?
