I don't blame you > for criticizing the top-posting, but address your harangue to the poster I agree with Tim. Just maybe the several others that top-post might get a hint as well. I'm on another list, that is supposed to be a very professional list that top posts technical information and it is hard as hell to recall anything that was posted. It's a damn sorry state of affairs. But, since it is the norm of that list, I shut up. Anyone with two grains of common sense would note very quickly that this is a bottom posting list as per USENET rules. Who knows, some might even start trimming their posts as well.
