Don't worry about it.  To live on the 'net you need to grown thicker 
skin.  There is _always_ someone who wants to instruct us all not to 
top-post.  Like the teachers who taught us english speakers that we must 
NEVER split an infinitive (which we can very easily do [and I just 
did]), they are simply attached to a habit that does not always make 
sense.  Top post all you want - I myself get tired of wading through 
increasingly difficult to deal with >>> to get to the answer somewhere 
near the bottom of a 20 page thread...  This isn't USENET me' lads.

IMO,
DLC
