> 1. I'd appreciate it if you DIDN'T top post.

Bottom posting is not a requirement in this forum.  Blind readers
prefer top posting too.  When properly trimmed, it doesn't matter what
you do, and it becomes more obvious where the text goes (above,
between, or below the inclusion text) depending on the context.

> : That would seem to make sense.  I also noticed that what ever

Also, ':' is not the standard inclusion marker, '>' is.  Many
news/mail readers look for the '>' to reformat textual messages.
