He was replying to one of my messages, and I did not suggest that. I was actually slightly narked at having to futz around with the previous message - which did not make any sense the first time I read it, so no doubt it made no sense at all to a less-capable English speaker - copying & pasting 6 times, just so that Nikos could make a "clever" point. I do not object to top-posting myself, but I find that Danis Petkakis' habit of "opposite posting" (posting at the top when all previous replies have been at the bottom, or posting at the bottom when all previous replies have been at the top) makes his posts very difficult to read. But we cannot blame him for doing so because nobody has taken the time to *patiently* explain what he's doing wrong, or point him to a URL that does so. Stroller.
