There does not seem to be any hard rules enforced, I generally bottom post unless having a conversation but mostly its either / or. There are a lot of newbies in here and the main men Alex, Zack and Colin don't seem to mind how people post probably cos they are far too busy answering the same questions ad nauseum to care much. 8-) Jonah |

| | Re: (OT) posting I generally top post because more than likely I have already read the previous postings, so I don't want to read them again or have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see the response. With top posting I see the what I want to see first, then if I want to read what is being responded to, then I can scroll down and read it.
