Excuse me, but seeing top posting and HTML in a post where someone is complaining about someone else not changing the subjects is just plain ludicrous and I feel I must jump in and state it as so. You likely have Outlook Express configured so it automatically post HTML if it receives it. Please correct that. As to your top posting, I wouldn't mind if you snipped off un needed bottom crap but you obviously don't do so. And that' why top posting really sucks, because it's so easy to not scroll down and leave tons of garbage in each message. We've been through all this before many times, it's well documented on the net. Yet people continue to do this believing top posting is just fine. I submit that top posting is simply a lazy stupid way of posting that causes nothing but trouble. If you don't see that, then that's a shame. It doesn't make you look good to defend it either...
