Yes, of course. I understood that, and agree with you. Just my little joke.


If you want to Toyota post and snip the Fords and Chevys, then that's
just alright. ;-)


LOL! To tell the truth, I'm sorry I got involved in this thread at all This
subject always seems to stir up emotions that are too strong for the
importance of the subject. Someone starts out expressing a preference one
way or another, and before you know it, it's become all insults and name
calling. Not my kind of thread, which is why I've stopped responding to it.

Your preferences are clearly different from mine, but I can live with the
way you post without a problem, just as you can apparently live with the way
I post. I only wish everyone else could do the same.

Foreign makes do not count.


They do to me. I like Toyota. ;-)

long threads with all of the replies included.

I would have to scroll all the way down to the bottom to find out
what the top-posting is in reply to, then scroll all the way back
up to read the reply.

The real issue, as far as I'm concerned, has little to do with
whether one top-posts or bottom posts. It has to do with trimming
what's not relevant to your reply. If you don't trim, and leave
lots of irrelevant quoted material, it takes lots of scrolling to
be able to understand your reply. If you trim adequately, your
reply is generally easy to find, read, and understand, whether
it's on the top or the bottom.
