Most of what you quoted was quite irrelevant to your response.
Could we keep just one thread from deteriorating into a vituperative,
puerile, ad hominem bun fight about psephology, numismatics, religion,
bottom posting and/or conspiracy theories? ...
Harold, I hate to disagree with you, but may I rise to Mike's defense? - His
comment was not ad hominem, nor in the vein of the top/bottom-posting wars.
It was merely saying Please edit to send only what is relevant. Surely we
can all agree that simple courtesy - and the fact that a message has MANY
more readers than authors, places a burden on the author to quote
economically and efficiently. [Mike's parenthetical "Bottom posting's fine -
but..." was not a swipe at any particular posting style (but may have
recognized that good editing is even more needed with bottom posting).]
Now (I hope) back to the thread topic...
