Top posting? Bottom Posting? Who cares? Really?
What are we trying to achieve here? Stop and think about it for a moment.

This is a forum for us to share knowledge, experience and know-how with
each other.
This forum is kept alive by posts from people who give up their time to
post. They don't have to post, they do it as a favour. A donation of time,
as it were.
Complaining about how people post to this forum, is like giving a hundred
bucks to charity, in ten dollar notes, and they complain the want two
fifties instead.
Would you give again? I know I wouldn't.

Most people on this list are pretty smart, and know how to scroll up, and
some even know how to scroll down.
You get a response to your question posted by somebody who is doing us all
a favour. Take it and be happy. Don't complain about how you got it.
That's just being ungrateful.

Regards
    Vernon
