Hi, Schmidty,

Yes, Google Groups does that. But then some groups actually prefer top
posting. And you can't make everyone happy :-). This one happens to
like bottom posting (and so do I).

When you say the "action of that page..." do you mean via a FORM tag?
Or a metatag, or what?

But in either case no, actually using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is no
different than any other string.
