Top posted mails can be harder to respond to than some others. Since you quoted nothing from the OP, I'm guessing from clues you're responding to me where I showed (and whooper showed it was not meaningless) that non-top-posting, by me, is harder to read than a clearly written top-post. I could refuse to listen to or respond to people with speech impediments, who have a poor grasp of grammar, or who insist on using "you know, like" in almost every sentence. I could refuse to read or respond to top-posters. I could do any number of things. As a member of a human family, I'll do my best with what I've got... with Groupewise 5.5, that ain't much!

I wasn't worth even attaching since it's now meaningless. PS. You are also not trimming your replies. That makes it even harder to make sense of your emails. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
