Well, now that the pressure's off, or lightened, how about editing<br>
your posts, and also NOT top posting?<br>

he means what you did just here, and in your other posts. :) you put<br>
your response above the quoted message you were replying to, rather<br>
than below it. please don't do this; it makes it difficult to follow<br>
the conversation, and thus it decreases the likelihood that you will<br>
get the responses you want.<br>
<br>
also, when i just now did a google search for "top posting", the<br>
entire first page of hits were all links that explained what he was<br>
talking about.<br>

While I know that the practice won't, and shouldn't change for me, I would just like to say that for some of us, top posting is more useful. I am a blind computer user, and top posting is easier to handle. I can read the response, and continue reading if I need context, more information etc.<br>

Unix/Linux people tend to be pretty black and white, and the world should be a certain way ... but remember, others of us may have a good reason for wanting a different world!<br>
