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. Paul Abrahams
