Re: framebuffer refresh

This is already well off topic to the list, however....there are two 
additional maxims that apply here:

1. according the the standard rules of ettiquete, it is considered bad 
manners to point out to others that they are being impolite.
2. the person who is offended by top posting *also* has a choice in the 
matter - whether to be offended or not.

i say this as a person who has been continuously engaged in the world of 
UNIX since 1986, and a professional *NIX systems administrator since 
1994. it doesn't matter to me in the slightest whether someone top or 
bottom posts (or whether they capitalize pronouns or the first letter of 
a sentence, heh).

there are far more important battles to choose.
