*chuckle*

My apologize, I meant "no reason to top-post", but to trim.

Regards,
Ralf

PS: I preferred to make some statements off list, pardon when _I_
confused top with bottom posting off-list too.

There are more reasons to avoid top posting, than the once Robin pointed
out. I at least pointed out one reason off-list. People in the usenet
and on mailing list tend to ignore you, if you offend the common rules,
so a request for help likely is ignored.

I have issues with e.g. not replying to myself, so I don't damn people
who make other mistakes like top posting. We simply should learn to
avoid such bad habits, to do ourself a favor ;).
