yes and add to the mix people who post within a message, i know it can be
comfusing... i am just saying this is the way i have done it...
mostly on the net i have seen bottom and in-posting... also people who post
just 'this sucks' or 'i disagree' without reasoning should be forced to use
a VIC-20 to get on the internet... (i am not say the vic-20 was a bad
machine just not a machine i would want to browse the net with ;')
without standards we have messes (which makes me wonder why i use a
macintosh...) could i learn bottom-posting? sure its just habit for me to
top-post... (i had actually wrote this at the top and cut and pasted it into
the bottom... i didnt realize this thread was also in the css group as well
and there bottom-posting is requested...)

sloopy.

p.s. if you put the dogs supper dish in the kitchen for 15 years and then
move it into the garage, the dog will go hungry for a while ;')
