Well, it seems this opened one large can of worms. Anyway, just to repeat my previous plea - and to echo David's request - can we please stop all this 'top post' rubbish and move on with our lives?

But, if I am the first, I will top post. When I look at a new email, I don't like to scroll to the bottom to find out what is new. If you know of a mail reader which will automatically scroll to the top of the latest info, let me know. If there is a technological fix, perhaps these threads will die down.
