Top posting it mentioned in "netiquette guidelines". Kindly search in Google
for the term "netiquette".

... as I expected, given the tone of your reply.

Your post came across as one long line of text. 
Perhaps you could enter a hard return after every 10 -12 words or
so, in order that your posts are *readable*?

This has a *lot* to do with Fedora Core and _any other technical discussion_ 
on the Internet, which is now used as a resource for peoples of many
nations and languages both for communication as well as information
(research). 

You may not be aware of this, but many on this list are persons whose
lingua mater is NOT English. This makes it difficult enough for them
to follow discussions  ... as is. Disrespecting the rules of netiquette,
_as well as LOGIC_ just reflects very poorly on you.

Remember WHATEVER you post on the Internet will be there for
future reference.

BTW, did you start reading this message from the _bottom_?

cheers...
