Dave - please accept my sincere apologies. . .
I thought it was quite obvious that I'm a real beginner.  I'm sorry to say

that "try as everyone has" I have not been able to solve my problem. 
However, I have learned a number of things from this forum.

#1.  What "top posting" is - and I'm working on how to correct it.  You
see, 
because I'm a beginner, I didn't even know what top posting was, much less
- 
how to correct it.  I'm now trying to work on it.  I have learned that
from 
this forum - I am grateful and will make sure to use it from here on out.

#2 The second thing that I have learned from the forum is that there are 
wonderful people from all over the world who obviously enjoy helping
others 
and give of their valuable time and talents.  This post is full of such 
people and I'm truly grateful to all of them.

#3  In a group there is always one that "stands out" - in this group that 
person - is you - Dave.  Please look at all the postings once again- 
EVERYONE has tried to help - EXCEPT YOU, DAVE.  Obviously, you are
different 
from the rest of this group - you seem to receive your pleasure from 
berating others - rather than helping.  You have made it very clear of the

fact that you lack empathy (quite possibly intelligence, as well ).  I
know 
that you never thought to ask, "do you know that you are "top posting" and

then try to offer something positive and constructive enabling me to
correct 
it..

I never finished my sentence at the top, please allow me to do that - - - 
Dave- please accept my sincere apologies. . .I sorry for the way you are, 
looking for the negatives in life, receiving your enjoyment out of
berating 
others rather than helping.  I hope that someday you will be able to 
overcome this personality deficiency.
