Most people don't have a problem with top posting and with most browsers
it is a better way to go.  It puts the last comment where it can be seen
without scrolling down the page.  That means all the latest posts can be
viewed by flipping through the headers rather than selecting the header
then scrolling down the post.

The worst protests seem to come from "old school" posters but the bottom
posting etiquette was developed before browsers like Netscape and OE
made it easier to view top posted comments.  Try having a look at the
thread using google groups and you'll see what I mean.  It's a painful
blast from the past.

I say screw tradition and usually top post unless a thread has been
deeply bottom posted.  When they invent side posting, I'll do that too,
if it's better!

And just to stay on topic: as far as Barrs leak etc. go, they are a last
ditch, short term fix if you don't have the money and/or time to fix a
leak properly.  Anything that plugs small leaks is going to have a
detrimental affect on the small passages in the radiator and heater
core.  In leaner times in the past I used all kinds of them and they
often work for a time.  I'd kill someone for pouring that into my
vehicles now.

I was even able to seal a leaking head gasket for about 6 months at a
time using a block sealing miracle product (from SolderSeal maybe?).
Anything like that should only be used on an old beater that you are
just trying to along nurse for a short while.  It did seal the block and
it also sealed most of the heater core too which made for some chilly
drives to work in the winter time.

Trimming all but the text that you are replying to and putting your reply
beneath has always been the standard and involves little or no scrolling.
Unfortunately, many posters these days are too lazy to do either.
