Again, my aplogies.

Thank you. Not so much for the apology, but for the in-line post.


(purely personal opinion, but I know a lot of it is shared through
this newsgroup)

I don't mind a top-post reply *when it's short, simple, and there's no
doubt to what it refers.*

But when one addresses more than one point in the response, it's one
hell of a lot easier to follow (and involves LESS scrolling, by the
way) if the reply is interleaved. Example follows:

A is A (stated in a 20-line paragraph)
but B is B

apples are often red (in a 7-line paragraph)
oranges, though, are not red

(end example)

See, done this way, you scroll down once. If the reply bits were top
posted, you'd have to scroll down first to read the A is A paragraph,
then up to reply, then down to read the apple paragraph, then up to
reply. ICK.
