bg:

You're running on empty, as far as knowing how to use a discussion e-list.
Did you not read the plain instruction on the email you got, reproduced following?

What part of that did you fail to understand?

The listbot went on to admonish,

and apparently you blew right past that, as well, since you left the entire contents of the Digest
(20-some-K) trailing along below your top-posted message like a ghastly dingleberry.

E-lists tend to work better for everyone if their participants bother to pay attention
to just a few simple details.

The amusing part is, apparently about two minutes after you sen it, you rethought it and
sent it right , launching a new thread.  :-)
So perhaps congratulations are in order after all.....

 Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

 Simply because you don't like to hear it, that doesn't make it untrue.
