But what about the thought that if you read the 'whole' of the posts
to see what has been happening - so to speak - its natural to read the
original post first, at the top, and then following posts after that.

But it doesnt matter, whatever you guys think is best I will do. I DO
still need a solution for my original question and I think this thread
is getting way off topic.

Also, please top post.

[OT]

I usually refrain from participating in top- vs bottom-posting debacles,
but I do not recall any mention of a "top posting rule" here. Or is that
your personal preference?

Both methods have merit. IME, in technical discussions the latter is
preferred and more natural.
