It is generally net etiquette to top post when the message is one line and only slightly related to the original post. Saves time scanning through the rerun looking for the new content. Especially when it doesn't pertain to any of the rerun.
Hi, Jan!
FWIW, the informal consensus that seems to have developed here over the years is (1) snip all the irrelevant portions of the post you are replying to and (2) reply at the bottom.
And welcome to the list! (I don't think I have seen your name here until recently, so I'm guessing that either you recently subscribed or recently came out of lurkdom: If I'm wrong, well, I've been wrong about other things, so simply disregard this paragraph . . . ;-) ) If/when you feel comfortable doing so, tell us a little about yourself and how you found the list and what prompted you to join. Or not, as you wish.
