Normally, I would prefer that such questions are asked in a separate thread (marked "OT:" for Off-Topic).
1) You can top-post, bottom-post or inline post. There is no guideline relating to this aspect and it's entirely up to you. Most newsgroup clients default to bottom posting, though. The web interface of GG defaults to top-posting. 2) Yes, you would include a link to the pastebin snippet. 3) Quoted text (which starts with an angular right bracket) is automatically hidden when your post is listed in the archive. Let me know if these answer your questions satisfactorily. I'm glad someone took the time to read the posting guidelines. :-) -- Cerebrus. Group Moderator.
