Bob,
If I top post some people ask me to change because in their
email
datbases they don't know who is answering what.
(it actually
looks better at the website and I personally prefer it
but I changed to
help the email savers).
If I bottom post it looks crappy at the website
and it is harder for
me but those who save have a better record - I can't
win.
I miss having Yuki around - one of the few women in a forum full
of
grumpy males and a Japanese woman to boot - also one who was quite
comfortable with us.
Yes, I do talk far too much
sometimes.
