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.
