Honestly, what does it matter?? It seems lately so many people are bein
snippety about little tiny things, and it just ends up annoying people
more than the question at hand? I thought the purpose of this list was
to have fun and share ideas, not nitpick everyone to death. He still is
at least quoting what he talks about. It shouldn't matter if it is
after or before. This is the only list I know where everyone gets so
hung up on rules that it becomes pathetic. My first post to this list
when I was brand new had several people jumping down my throat for
violating list rules. It was my first post for crying out loud! If
everyone would chill a little bit, things might be more fun for
everyone.

Just my two bits. Flame me if you want, some of you probably would
anyways. :)
