Your choice, but still rude to switch posting styles in mid-thread.

Re: Phone insurance
Obviously you are not one of those because you responded.
As I look through the threads today there are other top posters who don't
get berated. It must be my lucky day to attract the experts.
If you don't like top posting then please don't bother responding to my
posts.

I'll do my best to remember that -- I prefer not to waste my time on
self-centered people.
