Yes, but it was a VERY BAD bottom post. You should have removed
the extraneous junk, in which case it becomes clear which aspect
of the previous posting you are replying to. Look at what I have
done.

Some threads accumulate many thousands of lines of responses, and
it would be insane to include everything, top or bottom.
