<sarc>Absolutely, because that's precisely what I did. I left the
entire thread intact and posted my reply at the very bottom of the
thread.  Making it completely unreadable for you.  My apologies for my
clinging to the rigid dogma of readability and thread management.  </sarc>

For the record, like a lot of people, I like to read the thread from
beginning to end, not vice-versa.  Also like a lot of people, I throw
out bits of the thread that aren't needed to complement the context of
my reply.

Sad, really, that my attempt to add to your humourous reply was met
with heavy-handed self-righteousness.  But then, that's exactly what I
am beginning to expect in every online encounter.  Including mailing
lists that I've been on for over a decade (like this one), that have
always been polite and self-policing, which included respectful posts
letting new members know that top posting is considered bad
'netiquette'.  It seems that trolling is become SOP these days.
