Ahhhhhh.......  apparently there is some confusion. This is what I rae:

"Just write a mail, You would like to read from very top to very bottom
line by line."

Sauce for the goose as it were.  Thre isn't a lawyer, doctor or
bureaucrat that has not had to learn how to read from the top down....
but that is not the point. Let the utility of one's style draw the
responses it will....  if you are not happy with what you se or how you
see it,  hit the delete button. No worries.

And that is one reason why lists are sometimes less effective than other
means of communication. Conversation requires active listening skills,
as it were. Those too lazy won't read Kant; remind me to let him know he
needs to change up his prose style ;)
