You are clearly speaking > for others when you say that they are, too... Okay, now that I was forced to re-read my posts (in order to correct the misquoted post), I now see that this is unfair. You were only speaking for yourself when you said what I had quoted. My point is that just because _you_ don't find top posting confusing doesn't mean it's a good idea to top post. Since you are trying to communicate with us and we (at least, I) find top-posting confusing, it would be better if you were to refrain from it. You're trying to get your point across to us, right?
