   Why would anyone post a response _before_ the bit they want to respond to?   
   Please do try to make some sense Bill.   
   My response was exactly where is should have been in the context of what I was   
   responding to.   
      
   You still haven't pointed out the post where I "snipped out the bulk of the   
   comment without marking the snip".   
   Is that because no such posts exists?   
   Either point it out or shut up.
