     Yes, but you endlessly whined about it - especially to Stan - in the   
   context of getting a 2SV code via SMS and having no end of trouble   
   finding the right message, instead of accidentily stumbling on wrong   
   ones. *That* 'problem' is, as I explained, the mobile phone version of   
   PEBKBAC.   
      
     AND, as you yourself found out, there's a very good reason that -   
   other than in e-mail -, the newest SMS message is at the bottom, because   
   that's where the reply box is.
