m "DRS" wrote in message ... "Andrew Morris" wrote in message so is pushing your personal opinion upon others.... It's not just my personal opinion. It's Usenet etiquette and has been for many years. FWIW, I agree that "bottom-posting" (eeww) is preferable to top-posting, but I've given up on complaining about people that do it. In much the same way, I've given up btiching about bicycle red-light runners: fcuk 'em. If they want to become a hood ornament, that's their business... they think its safe and has no effect on anyone else, what is the chance that they'll listen to me? If nobody says anything then how will the children learn? -- A: Top-posters. Q: What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? |

I've only had one race! I honestly (no, really) didn't kno what sort of speeds the different grades run. I'll give C-grade a g tomorrow and see what happens.. Ritc - |
