Hi Chris!

By "top post" you mean writing an answer or a reply above the part, that is
quoted? I assume so.

I have only quoted e-mail text, which immediately has to do with my original
question and a subject, which I myself chose. So I don't know how you can
possibly get the idea, that those have nothing to do with the topic. Perhaps the
confusion stems from something in your e-mail client, that displays top posted
replies weirdly? In my e-mail client it is very clear, what is quoted text and
what is the reply. I am unaware of the specific problem, potentially caused by
"top posting".

I am also not "changing" the subject here. Or do you mean "If you ever want to
change the subject, it would be better to do have the posts be written in a
different way."? I am replying to someone, who replied to my topic starter
e-mail. I am not intending to change the title at the moment.

Lastly, I was not aware, that there is a "bottom post" rule or convention on
this mailing list. If that is indeed the case, I will try to remember in the
future. Thanks for the hint.

Zelphir
