I put nearly identical text in response to top-posted messages and, if it was not too difficult, move the top-posted response to the end, before my response. Of late I have started to get responses from people (not even the person who top-posted) saying that I should f*** off and that they would post however they wanted. Very hostile and even threatening. I even manage to bottom post from my iPod. With cut and paste, it's really not hard, but I guess it's just beyond the capacities of some and somehow offensive to others. **Sigh** -- R.
