I now understand those who are vehemently apposed to "top posting".
The only other group that I have anything to do with is
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=53

and the members there know me well enough not to take me the wrong way. 
They also have a nice feature that allows you to automatically "quote" and 
include the text of the message to witch you are responding.  This has 
perhaps made me a bit lax.  I certainly have no right to expect a reader to 
scroll down to intemperate the context of my message.  I sincerely apologize 
to any member who was offended by my post.
Best Regards,
Arnold Beland
