I wouldn't use Ajax for this. Rather, just put hidden fields in the
form and post the form back to the server. Then the server code can
pick up the posted values and compute from there.

And on Usenet (which is what this is - Google Groups is just an
interface to it) general accepted practice is to quote the message
you're replying to.

Your response then goes either before (top posting), after (bottom
posting) or intermixed within the post you're quoting.

This group uses bottom or intermixed posting as a standard.

Thanks.
