| What is covered in the online "docs and faq's" [sic]?

| Please don't top-post, Robert.

i didn't top-post

Yes you did, see: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-posting>. Which
includes: "Top-posting means replying to a message above the original
message."

And see: <http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html> Which
includes: "This term is generally used pejoratively with the implication
that the offending person is a newbie, a Microsoft addict (Microsoft
mail tools produce a similar format by default), or simply a
common-and-garden-variety idiot."

And your headers confirm this:

X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2869

again, what's up with your love affair with "sic"?

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic>, which includes: "Sic is a Latin word
meaning "thus" or "so". In writing, it is italicized and placed within
square brackets — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual
spelling, phrase or other preceding quoted material is a verbatim
reproduction of the original quoted material and is not a transcription
error."
