[Scan-DC] Statewide Agencies Radio System

[dehm]

Actually, I don't like "bottom posting" as you put it because then i
have to re-read an entire 2 pages of back posts just to get to the
response to the previous message.. I have always posted like this
since back in the BBS days before i used to be on the Internet so i am
experienced in reading and posting this way.. but hey.. whatever is
easiest for you.. just don't brag about how "cool" you are because you
can move your cursor and start typing after the quoted text.. w00

By the way.. don't take this seriously .. this message is in good sarcasm =)
