Hey, that was kinda rude.  (again)  So I'll make my final reply and be done.

> RFC1855, as many others have pointed out. Doubtless you won't be able to find
> it, either, so:


Like I said, you will NOT be able to unless you write your own and somehow get
it accepted.   There is nothing... not one thing, that mandates top-posting
or otherwise suggests that included quoted text is somehow better or worse
at the top, as opposed to the bottom or middle of a reply one sends.  By
the way did you happen to notice the very first clause?

Let me quote it for you here:


        Status of This Memo
        This memo provides information for the Internet community.
        This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.
        Distribution of this memo is unlimited.


So not only is it not a mandate but according to the article you specified
it's not even a /standard/ guideline.

So all you've prooven to me (us?) so far is your inability to understand
written english.  Hmmm,  this arguement isn't going too well for you I think.

But it's stopped being fun for me now and I'm sure others think us both
rediculous for even discussing it on channels conserned with photography
and not internet analisms.  I know at least that's what I think when I see
the issue discussed in a public forum devoted to a different topic.

Sorry to _all_ of you who were boerd to tears with all my ramblings!
