I'm very sorry I offended your style preferences. I promise I'll never
do it again ;)

Anyway, I prefer "top-posting". It might be because my browser shows all
the messages in a thread, so it's already top down, and all the quoted
stuff at the end is just a reference. Besides, I don't like wading down
through 500 lines of old thread to find the new stuff. So I guess we're
even.

But, to each his own. Let's just agree to disagree and I'll buy you a
beer some day.

My only comment to your defense is that having the messages in
sequence only happens when you view all threads.
Otherwise, it's a deal. Yuengling Lager Light, if you please? And
yours?--

I've never heard of Yuengling. I'll try one of those.

It's kinda like Coors beer was many years ago, Coors was a local beer
(west of the Ole' Mississippi.) not available in the East.

Yuengling is a small family owned brewery in Pottsville, Pa. it is not
well known west of the Monongohelia River. (Pittsburgh, Pa)

But Coors never was very good ;)

Oh well, I'm too far west of the Monongohelia. But I have a friend that
used to live in Pottsville.

Yuengling (pronounced yingling) is the oldest brewery (1829) in the US.
It is located Pottsville, PA in the coal regions. Dick Yuengling, the
current owner, does his own ads and has made it into somewhat of a
national brand. He added two new breweries in Port Clinton and Tampa,
FL to supplement his historic facility. He features lager, but also has
black & tan, ale (Chesterfield Ale), port, stout, light and light lager.
Many outlets feature Yuengling as a micro brew or premium beer. I don't
know what Dick does with the barley staw and never asked him. If you
ever pass through Pottsville, stop for a brewery tour at the old brewery
which was actually built in 1831 after a fire destroyed the fist one.
And if Dick is there, ask him what he does with the barley straw.

Hey Crashj, you ever watched the show Monk? ;o)

Since I read all posts, normally top-posting is not big deal. Other than
when people top post something general..... i.e., "Thanks, I can really
appreciate that info." and they've deleted the info, so you have no idea
who or what they're referring to and thanking who for. Sometimes I top
post, sometimes I bottom post. But I always leave a little something so you
know to what I refer. ;o) ~ jan
