Read this as if Andy Rooney was speaking...
"You ever have a time on a thread, where you want to make a "Quick response" to a reply, and don't want to use the quote feature? So you make a comment to something that was written, "just above" where you want to post your reply,...only to have it appear at the "top of the next page", and no-one has a clue what you're referencing?" Well, it happens to me all the time. it's sorta like every intersection I come to has a red light. Am I exaggerating? Of course. But not fully. Generally, I try to be a "glass is 1/2 full" type guy, even tho I'm not. It's difficult, when you're keeping score, and history has a way of repeating itself.
Don't mind me, cause I'm just venting, being home on a Sat. with a crummy cold, after working mucho O/T last few weeks. The up-side is, I have an excuse to sit in frt of my stove, and watch the blue ladies dance, as the last of our long winter passes through.

I kind of have the opposit problem. When I think the next post is going to be at the top of the next page I typicly put in some interesting photos. Then it ends up being at the bottom of the page. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but it seems that posts at the top of a page get much more traction than ones at the bottom of the page.
I hope you feel better soon Joe! A hot cup of tea with some honey and three fingers of any good Irish Whisky goes great with a cold and those blue ladies.

Thanx for the wishes people, and I just think you can call it the "crappy weather blues". I can see ground in some parts of my backyard, that I haven't seen since last season, but my arborvitaes have new snow on them from today's blast. Yet the oats are still above freezing. "Crazy this year".

I don't worry if it's top, middle, or bottom of a page. I just assume that whoever is reading the post is reading along all parts of the post.
