Perhaps, if you bothered to see what the so called 40 lines said, you would have realised that it is connected with the question that I have raised in the email. Without having the previous mail "crap" quoted, it is like haveing a blank question. No one will be able to understand the reference of the question without the "crap".
As far as top posting is concerned, since there is only one question related to the entire email quoted, your so called love for middle posting is uncalled for. There is no valid place in the quoted email that I can put the question in without it resulted in cutting off the reference to the remaining part of the email.
And it is time you climbed down from your high and mighty pedestal in which you put yourself and give more civil replies. Incidentally, I dont see the answer to the question I have asked, which is the least I expected from you.

This followed by 40 lines from earlier messages.
*Please* do not top-post, and *please* do trim all that crap that remains after your reply! It really really helps to keep replies intertwined with quoted messages - improves readability a lot.
