People (I won't embarass Bob, Iorwerth, Dan'l, or Matthew by mentioning
their names),
Please lay off the top-posting; it makes your posts very hard to follow.
Even if your mail program puts your cursor at the top of the quoted
material to which you are replying, there is nothing to stop you from
moving to the bottom before beginning to type in your received wisdom,
and following the conventional flow of reading down columns of English
eases the reader's eye.

Thanks,
Jeff
