top posting (was Audio/Video Problems)

I read everything, and I've never responded here before. But if this childishness is really going to descend to where jesus' name is mentioned maybe it's time for me to leave this mailing list too

I would like to see everybody be respectful of each other and other people on these lists, and use them what they are for, which is definitely not cornering up on somebody. I would like to please see this thread stop too, so we can continue with support. I think this list needs Jesus Christ. And I apologize if I just said anything offensive or anything not in the Code of Conduct.
