I believe it wouldn't have been such a flood if you hadn't been so adamant in defending top-posting as the only valid format, and later as the only one available to you, because your (IMHO braindead) device wastes everyone's bandwidth for the (egotistical) purpose of sparing bandwidth between your device and its server. As someone already said: get a real computer, in Rome do as the Romans, and you won't be burned at the stake. Regards, Tony. -- Think of it!
