I agree with that.

The irony for me, that brings a grin to my face, is that I sometimes get
flack for asking too many "pesky questions" in the quest for clearer
communication. I've gotten accused of being anal. Now, you're not
hounding me for top posting, but for those brave souls that have poo pood
top posting, I'll do some self-flaggelation for you later ;) I'll go easy
on myself, since I can spell, using proper grammar, get around the
English language fairly well, and have never had anyone on the list
complain that my posts in particular are hard to understand or have too
much quoted material.
