You trimmed!! Thank you and welcome aboard. Have you visited the
website?


I have, and found it rather impressive, and plan to spend some time there.
I honestly thought that I had been trimming in my replies, I guess when you
post at the top it's not as apparent.

You're right! IMO: not trimming sticks out like a sore thumb when
you're a bottom poster because you make readers scroll down too far
for your response. Please understand, I'm not accusing *you* of
it.... but poor trimming is a common bottom poster's mistake.

With top posting, it doesn't matter if you trim or not - readers who
are familiar with the thread can see the reply without searching for
it and readers who aren't familiar with the thread can continue down
to familiarize themselves with it.

That's why I don't care how you post, but please be judicious if you
choose to bottom post.

Welcome to rfc!
