OK, blah blah blah...the first several reasons I top post....THEN The main reason, and the most fun, is that I know that when I top post, Dave Hinz and his ilk are surely so confused that they can no longer make any sense out of the thread in question. effectively leaving them out of the conversation. I also get big yuks out of imagining the dazed and confused look on their face as they make a futile effort to keep up with all those who CAN make sense of the thread.
P.S. I am, however, still trying to make sense out of those side posts...duhhh.
