Dave:
Here's the flaw in your strategy: I've noticed that the people who are 
fussiest about bottom posting are more apt to be old time *nix types whereas 
top posters are more apt to be recent windows migrants. Guess who is more apt 
to give you a useful answer.

The same can be said for posting in HTML; some of the same folks who don't 
like top posting are also those who just dump HTML crap straight to the bit 
bucket. Unread. If I'm having some kind of problem with my system, it seems 
to me that I'm ahead of the game if my plaintive plea is read by the guys who 
know what they're doing rather than ones who have so recently worshiped 
before the altar at the Church of Reformat and Reinstall.
