What is top-post? Do you mean, like this here post, where I put my reply before your
remark? I thought that it helps people get to the new remark quicker. I don't do it all
the time, but I thought top posting was when someone makes their post go to the top of a
display of new posts, so it appears out of order.

Jeff, this seems to be a debate going on constantly in Usenet groups. =
Apparently it depends upon what newsreader you use, which is easier. =
Some people prefer reading the reply and then referencing it to what was =
previously posted below without scrolling through the entire previous =
post, and some prefer to read the reply at the bottom after reading the =
reference material at the top. I like your way, as you can tell, but =
then who am I but just an idiotic newbie.

Exactly right.
(I.e. exactly wrong according to Usenet/news recommendations.)

Yes, and it forces them to hunt all over the next pages trying to figure
out what you're replying to.

the time, but I thought top posting was when someone makes their post go to the top of a

You could forge the date field to put it on top of a date-sorted list,
but otherwise there shouldn't be any way to do that.

Notice how much easier it is to figure out which questions I'm replying to?

Outdoor sports is a small-world family scene to an extent, so I

Other interests eh? Boy, all I can think of are jokes.

-Photography
Lately it's been mainly 4x5 stuff, but also 120 film, and Julie and I
have picked up a (gasp) digital camera. My first major in college was
photographic science (or research into photographic materials), so
digital photography represents the end of the need for my education.
Getting old. I guess it was a good thing I quit Kodak back in 1990.
BTW, I print everything on the computer.

-Glacier Vacations
The past four years or so, Julie Joy and I have vacationed out in
Glacier National Park. Love the mountains. Anyway, there's a few (4x5)
photos at:
www.cbs.umn.edu/~wenner
I have a bunch more, but I haven't been undating the website much.

-Giardia Patrol
Let's just say I forgot the water filter the last time in Glacier, and
I'm still paying for it.

-Cycling
Yeah, like everyone else.

-VW Repair
I basically do all the work on our two VWs

Jay Wenner

Golf, Biking, Lake Kayaking, Working on projects that require heavy
labor at my cabin and a Saturday night cigar during the summer by the
campfire (Dominican as Cubans are illegal here and hard to get...end
the embargo)

I'm going to try to learn to cook well this year. Peanut butter
sandwiches should not be at the top of my food chain.

Hi Terje-
Yes, Timp (Timpanogos, so you were close) is one of the nicer, longer hikes.
I did it with a group of XC folks one time, and as we were ski walking up the trail just
below the summit (cruising pretty fast, all in a line, all doing this wierd exaggerated
walking stride), some guy who was coming down told us we looked like "the
Keystone Cops on their way to a fire." Oh well. I don't remember our time to the top,
but I think the total trip (out & back, including 10-20 minutes on the summit) was on the
order of 4 hours.

Those downhills are a lot nicer in the spring, when there's still snow and you can glissade down! ;- )

They are nice, aren't they? :-)

Summer of '92, just before returning to Norway, I got the chance to join
the guy who'd invited me to come to Utah (Paul Turner) on a hike up to
Timp (i.e. Mt Timpanogous (spelling?)).

We took almost exactly two hours, getting up to the final ridge in time
for sunrise (_very_ pretty, let me tell you).

Up on the summit we met quite a few people who'd tented on the final
meadow and walked up, one of them asked us how long we taken. When we
replied '2 hours' he condescendingly told us hiw wife took just 1:50+ or
something.
:-)

Later he did admit that she was the current local triathlon champion.

Anyway, the only problems with trips like this is that you should have a
cable car to take you back down, those downhill jogging trips with tired
legs are murder on your knees and ankles. :-(

I must say that some of us find much on Jay's list quite interesting - not
all theater, for instance, is interesting, but much of it is. Same goes
for the rest of the list. I have very catholic tastes in music even
though I only play one sort, mostly. I hope that many of my fellow skiers
find more than just "popular culture" of interest.

Alright ... another wrench head ! Hey, I got an '87 1.8L 16v Gti Golf (red)
sitting here waiting to be restored. Wont pass emissions (boooo!). But first
comes the new transmission for the '87 Turbo 4x4 Subaru XT ... a real r o c k

afraid. :^]
