This war comes up often, too often!  Good manors are becoming a thing of 
the past and this is a sad thing in my opinion.  It has been my 
experience that most people on this list prefer the older tried and 
tested method of bottom posting.  Makes it better for people who find 
the post later while googleing a problem they are having.  Question 
before answers.  If you feel that you do not have enough time to take 
the 1 maybe two seconds to scroll to the bottom of a post, you are way 
to busty and need to re-prioritize you activities.   Obviously this is 
just my opinion, take or leave it, your choice.
Thank You,
