I work in an environment where a very large amount of communication is done via email between a very large number of people in a Fortune 500 company and everyone top posts. It just seems right to us. I was not trying to be difficult. I was only ignorant of your adamancy.
I'm glad you imagine you do. It doesn't change the fact that you abundantly announced to everyone that you know almost nothing about chemistry and are seriously in need of an education.

Here is a quote (cut and paste actually) from the very page you guys keep sending me to .. to see YOUR rules ..
read the last line of YOUR f****ng bible ...
but I guess you decide which rules apply ...
quote: If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original!

so yes .. I understand the bottom post thing .. but .. if YOU are too f****ng LAZY to trim the post then put up with the top post. period
That article mentions use of "flash powder". A main ingredient of that is an oxidizer that is usually a chlorate or a perchlorate of sodium or potassium, although permanganate of potassium has been done and permanganate of something else such as sodium is possible. Nitrates are also cited as oxidizer. The fuel of "flash powder" is typically powder of magnesium or aluminum, although I consider doable with a mixture of these, also to lesser extent with titanium and other metals towards the left end of the periodic table that do not excessively spontaneously corrode when exposed to air (which largely excludes metals in the first column and metals in the second column below magnesium, and Be is impractical due to lower availability and higher toxicity of its main oxide).
I would like to add that "topping" is fairly common practice in e-mails in industry.
In Usenet, the culture varies from this somewhat. So I advise that in Usenet that top-posting only be done above maybe 12-15 lines or less of quoted material or have adequate indication early-on of having top-posting, reasonably obvious in first-page-view in all popular and decade-back-popular newsreaders including dating back to "tin" and "slrn".
Meanwhile, I do find that most of those who bitch the most about top-posting tend to be grasping at straws to fight their way upward from deservedly lower positions in whatever "pecking order" that they want to ascend within.

how close can you focus your eyes? will the extra drag caused by this aparatus slow you down. maybe an optical solution, like an L-shaperd periscope would be a better solution?
