Dave Irving, top posting is generally discouraged on this list as doing
so makes it more difficult for readers to follow the flow of discussion
and therefore more time consuming for respondents to react.
Please bottom post, or inject responses between lines of the earlier
poster's text and breaking out yours from theirs with a separator line
as below.
