He is?  Holy crap, he is more helpful with his sarcasm and doubt than
anything else.  However, it does explains his tone, given that I am
picking on his code.

I see your reference to an acronym regarding top posting, but not a
policy.  In fact your reference is specifically listed under another
obscure acronym OLOCA, which does not reference any policy.

If you want to have a policy regarding top posting you should put it here:
http://www.cygwin.com/lists.html

FWIW, I think inline posting is very 90's.  Your point get lost.

Finally, I am serious and I am not looking for any further friends (I have
enough).  I am doing analysis and looking at code that shows how we can
make great software better.  If that's not welcome because of the format
of my emails then I'll stop.
