You are doing two of the most annoying things on usenet:

1) Posting in HTML Please turn off HTML posting. Usenet discussion news
groups are text based. Many people will only see a large stream of
gobblygook characters when they view your posts.

B) Top posting.

Please don't top post.

No. I'm not singling you out.
