Thank You Chris !

I try to follow the rules when I can. But I get tired of getting chopped 
off at the knees. So in the case of Sniping I err on the side of leaving 
to much.

I am finally glad you have said what really important. Helping other 
with their problems is the important thing. Not whether its in html or 
not: whether its top posted, bottom posted, or interspersed; The point 
is about help other with our fantastic Mozilla products.

I don't normally post in HTML in Mozilla newsgroups except in the Old 
MTTM group and on rare occasions in General.  And I've given up the 
battle for Top posting.

I've tried this snipping and no way I do it is right. so I just don't. I 
guess you might say I pixx of ever p[arty equally with this one. So is 
the best I can do.
