It would help if you kept the original post tied to the actual poster.
You attribute "Ric Moore wrote", when the next line was Arthur's. I
wrote the next line reading "thank you" and the +1 following. It's
obvious some of you have not been on Linux lists for any length of
time. 

Top posting is universally despised among Linux and Usenet users for
years and doing so is the mark of a newbie user who comes from a
Windows-centric background, where such things are condoned like having
drive letters instead of names. 

While I do welcome you, however, learning and following local
conventions is the mark of a man of respect, in any social setting. Keep
it up, others will call you on it. That's just how it is. :) Ric
