I want to take the time to thank you for calling me out personally and
singling me out for something that lots of people do, while I continue to
"top-post".  I prefer it when people get pissed off at the little things in
the world because they are 1.) Arrogant and 2.) Ignorant.

You have a great day, because you've just made my day.  I suggest you check
your email in order and see the original posters email and then follow the
emails.  Or do you get pissed off because your email doesn't go in an
ascending fashion too, you know you can set your email to display in Time
Ascending right?  Thanks again and have a great day.  I look forward to more
emails from you.
