Please get over it and stop wasting bandwidth with these idiot messages about top, bottom, or upside down postings. {+_+} Joanne Dow, said that, top posting with malice aforethought. Next message from this twit about improper posting earns him a SpamAssassin blacklist entry.
Joanne, I'm not condoning Thomas's tone in his last post(s), but calling him a twit with "idiot messages" is WAY over the top.
Bottom posting is netiquette, and reading most documentation on the internet about mailing list posting, will tell you why.
You will also find that the people who have been around on this list longest and are most helpful to people, ALL BOTTOM POST!!!
It is an accepted, respectful thing to do on a mailing list, especially if you are receiving free help from volunteers.
Please tone it down some. Regards, Ed.
