Note that pg 9.4 has 9 variants: from 9.4.0 through to 9.4.8 (see

In this list, the convention is to post replies at the end (with some rare exceptions),
or interspersed when appropriate, and to omit parts no longer relevant.
The motivation of bottom posting like this: is that people get to see the context
before the reply, AND emails don't end up getting longer & longer as people reply
at the beginning forgetting to trim the now irrelevant stuff at the end.
Cheers,
Gavin
