    I guess it is OK for sighted users, where the reading, scanning down the
screen is easy. I also try to delete the old, but not always. I do it to
make the point immediately then anyone reading under it will see why, but
those who have not read previous postings can get lost quick.

    I also do it first is because with a screen reader program you read one
line at a time, not a screen at a time. It is time consuming to go down the
page and read it all, especially since it is another response to the
existing.

    But from now on, as in this one, I will snip the others and place the
answer at the bottom. Yet there will be some that do the opposite, so
reading one line at a time can be a little painful, time consuming.

    Thanks for the thoughts.
