Well, I have corrected your top-posting and trimmed the superfluous full quote under. Please don't top post and trim your posts.
What is top-posting? And what practices do you advocate about trimming messages to which one is responding? I don't think there's any agreed-upon convention about this.
My approach is to put the original message first (to set the context) and to trim most everything from it that isn't relevant to the response.

Not only that but this is also a high-jacked thread. If you want a new subject stop being so lazy and start your own message. Thread high-jacking screws up the archives and the search engines, as far as providing correct info. If someone was searching on printing problems they would also get this message which has nothing to do with printing problems. -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)
