    Gee whiz, I just opened my email and there is another exciting and
    technically mind blowing thread on top-posting with 21 entries so far!
     [Hey, I know! After this let's talk about what the 'best'
    distribution is!] :)

    Allow me to top post this response out of sheer frustration, and in
    protest of the topic. Another one for the bit bucket...
