And the best way to do it by being an archeologist is the same, or alternatively you can write "Clan
of the Cave Bear". There is probably an exception like that somewhere in bike shops as well. Like,
start with a big fortune *or* invent the slant parallellogram derailer.

(Okay, veering so far off the topic here it shouldn't even be in this group, but anyway..

"Please do my homework for me - and don't be mean about it". It's not a good idea, when begging for
help from people who have no particular reason to do your research for you, to be snooty about the
tone - or to write in a semiliterate scrawl.

Emily Postnews (required reading for anyone posting on Usenet), while skewering practically every
faux pas that can be committed here, says absolutely nothing about top posting. I've been
participating on Usenet News for over ten years and only recently can I recall anyone getting all
worked up about top posting.

BTW, talk about wandering off-topic! ;-)
