Well, you found out real quick that top-posting is not a good thing.

Firefox will jam up with several audio sources open at once.

It's usually a good thing to read the list a bit to get the flavor of
any given list. Lately we've had to post a reminder ~daily~ to ask top
posters to leave the Windows convention of top posting at the door. It's
fine for personal correspondence, if that is what you do, but for tech
support issues that may become googled in the future, a top post just
ruins the information for the next guy. So, the question gets asked
again and again and again. Now you know. Ric
