 Crap.. I did this twice..(Now 3 times, since satlug hates bellsouth.net)...I didn't think it was important the first time reply.. but after re-reading it.. I figured it was worth saying...

I "top-post" I think IMHO that it is the best way to reply to a message, so that a person reading it has a clue on what YOU were saying.. I detest it to the greatest degree.. when people carry-on with a thread.. and keep posting to the bottom till you have to scroll down GOD who knows how far to read the reply.

So Dave.. ROCK ON!!!.. Top post all you want.. cuz some of us.. we hate to scroll to the bottom to read someone's one sentence or a few single words worth of a reply to read bull crap.. ROCK ON MAN!

Thank you

Sincerely,

TriKster Abacus
