Leo, I must admit I am "List Server" challenged and whenever I make a post using the Gmail web interface I almost always get it wrong. Until I saw this post I had never heard of a top post and I am still not sure if I understand all of what it is about. As suggested I read the "Communicate/MailingListGuidelines" and I must confess I did not see any mention of "top" posting. However, Google found this link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting#Top-posting I apologize for the error and thank you for the opportunity to learn something new.
