	Jim, and the rest of you:  google

	You'll get 2,380,000 entries back.  The first return has the
	title:  "Why Google Became A Carrier-Humping, Net Neutrality 
	Surrender Monkey"   Take a look at several other returns as
	well.

	Sacred, no.  Considerate, yes.  I've given you before what I
	consider an absolutely incontrovertible argument:
A:  Because it messes up the order in which
people normally read text.
Q:  Why is top-posting a bad thing?

	Right.  Make the people you are writing to do the work.  That
	is the way to exert the most influence in your writing.

	<ROTFL>   What does HTML have to do with E-mail? (Jay Hart, don't
	answer that question!)   Like any sensible Linuxian, I use
	mutt as my MUA, and have emacs as my editor, set in my .muttrc.
	(Y'all have my permission to use vi!  Arguing about top-posting
	as bad enough; going back to vi-emacs wars means we'll soon
	develop prehensile tails)

Best wishes to all!
