The group on this list seems to have made the decision to reply at
the bottom, which is fine-but I don't agree it's accurate to say that
it's helpful, just custom on the list.
The behavior is usual for a decent technical list, and there is a good
reason behind it. In essence you are creating a mini-how-to. Anyone can
google and receive a copy of the post that contains it's elements in a
top down manner towards successful completion and problem resolution,
with the topic marked as <solved!>. Simple really. Far easier to read.
Plus, it's standard here and part of the list rules.

Thx. I hadn't realized posts to this mailing list were available online.
It's a great group and a great resource. I flag the messages that
complete the cycle from problem to resolution sp I can drag them out
when I face something similar. Welcome! Ric
