If you searched for this on google the above is for you :o)

Given that my Audi hasn't even arrived yet can I expect Audi owners to
cut each other up on the road and score points against each other until
one dies?

Oops wouldn't like to stray onto another topic in a thread as emotional
as peoples driving habits.

Times have NOT changed. Noticed I clipped all of your message and
mine simply to reply to what is relevent. Go to other newsgroups and
you will find a majority of the people do NOT top post.

I agree with your estimation of quote after quote after quote. That
too is impolite. Simply quote what you wish to talk about. Very
simple. I bet you could do it without even trying. d;o)

I guess that maybe top-posting Audi drivers would hold the speed limit
in the passing lane. Since only *they* matter, that's what you could
expect. Or some other MFFY* driving habit. After all, differing
styles must be accomadated.

E.P.

I must say I like that post - nice one.

I probably am a top poster / mffy at heart but don't care for holding
the speed limit in that way.

And note I have changed from single posting to bottom posting as I was
prepared to - thanks
