Top posting is a religious issue. Since people are ready to explain why it is discouraged, let me mention where I find it appropriate:
/snip/ Well, I am somewhat partial to top-posting, but I will follow the "rules" that have been posted here. But I am also partial to cutting to the chase, and snipping out that which may not be geramne to the discussion, as I have done here. If the original quote were not so huge--as it will not be if you trim it--then top- or under- posting would not be such an item of difficulty. If there is a real reason to post the history of a track, OK, but there ususally is not. (Which is not to say that some "answers" do not reference the question at all, and are a mystery to the reader.) --doug
