I did the right thing IMHO, and split to a brand new message/thread (to keep the 'thread' thread on track), with relevant subject line, and gave my retort as to why I don't agree and why I prefer top posting. I didn't intend for it to be the same tired top/bottom post argument we've seen numerous times in the decade or so I've been on this list. But I have to say, I'm a little bit honored and flattered even, that the legendary Tedd Sperling even knows who I am let alone takes note of how I "used to be". :) That makes my day! d

As for my comment -- you've been around long enough to prove your worth and provide ample support for your various positions, I just found it odd that you would waste your talent tilting such trivial windmills? I concluded that something else must be at play here. As is all too common, I may be wrong. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
