Exactly - but more importantly, veteran users (like Tom) should make a minimal effort to abide by the lists general guidelines - in this case, STOP freaking top-posting Tom! - otherwise, newbies will quickly see that they can also just give the finger to the rest of us. Seriously Tom - that is the way I take it when you simply refuse to abode by the guidelines - you are telling the rest of us to go F--- ourselves...
