hehe you can mumble all you want, but i posit that although i
technically made a top post in one sense of the term (quoting the text
to which i was responding after my own response) it was not in the sense
that is disapproved of. i actually excerpted 5 lines from a 20-line post
by shyam, and posted my 5-line response directly above only that
excerpt :-)

you on the other hand did not post "on top" but inserted 1 line into the
entire quoted 10-line text of my mail including shyam's quote. which
wasted more bandwidth :-)

(shyam's post which i excerpted, though, _was_ a top-post... he added
his 20-line text to the top of the _entire_ 48-line article posted by
deepa.)

years ago on a 1200 bps modem with 4 second lag meant not worrying about
case changes.
