You Go Girl! :)
I'm so glad to hear that. And I noticed that even Sebastian fired off
his last top-post about five hours after your notice in this email ;)
I'm not going to trim this post. I think it should remain so that people
who stumble across this post of mine in the archives be able to absorb,
via osmosis, everything else you said below.
For me, I'm simply going to send directly to /dev/null, via filters,
anyone who does top-post, as I have neither the time nor the inclination
to endure such punishment.
So if anyone thinks I'm ignoring them, I'm not. I've just filtered them
and will only see reference to them if they are quoted inline by someone
else.
So without further ado, here's the rest of Trish's post:

</I>><i> * It makes messages difficult to read when the answer comes before the

</I>><i> waffle to a minimum.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> * It means the top-poster is less likely to trim (this does matter.
</I>><i> There are still many people around the world stuck on dialup with
</I>><i> very low data quotas), and subsequent top-posters are then also less
</I>><i> likely to trim;
