Re: OT: Open Source does it again! :)

I should be trimming but am too lazy but I prefer top posting.... In fact,
I often don't read posts that are bottom posted. I hate scrolling through
all the other's posts to get to the answer. However, I do like some
background included so I know what somebody is talking about. Well, we all
don't agree on this top/bottom posting thing so it will never get resolved.
Oh well!!!
