Hello Everyone,
I'm forwarding this to the list since newer subscribers
sometimes have similar problems. Please remember to follow our list
guidelines which are there for the benefit of all.

The content is fine...it's the format that is a problem. Please
delete the previous message from the bottom. You are using
"top-posting" which is fine between individuals but is inappropriate
for a large (>1500 subscribers) list. The worst example of this is
when someone top-posts a complete digest! You can read more about
top-posting here:

Yes, you received a copy when you subscribed which is repeated below:

As I said, there's nothing wrong with the content but simply the
format. Just delete the previous message from the bottom and
resubmit. Of course you can also do "in-line" posting as I have in
this reply to you if you want to preserve the context of a message for
multiple thoughts.
