No, I was just replying to your post as you saw it.

The section your are referring to should properly read, and I quote:

"What I'm attempting to convey in my comment:

Top posting is where I'm at, and will stay at. Chances are, when you
opened
this letter, you recognized that the reply was `right here' ... three
seconds and you found your goal. Life is good. 8)


... is that when you opened your reader program, when you selected this
message to read, what did you see first? ..."


What I read when I( opened my reader program was the first thing you said in
reply to something I said, except that you didn't reply to what I said, you
simply quoted something you yourself had said, making it *appear* that you
were replying, when actually you were not.
