Sorry bout that. I didn't realize I hadn't snipped stuph. Usually I do. 
Actually I prefer top posting. Much more efficient.

Just open the message, read the new info right at the top and if you 
don't know what the person is talking about .... THEN... you can scroll 
down and catch up.

People following the threads already know what was said previously and 
having to scroll past a bunch of stuff for a "me too" is aggravating.
