L. Foged proved that a weakly regular topology on a countable set is regular. In terms of convergence theory, this means that the topological reflection Tx of a regular pretopology x on a countable set is regular. It is proved that this still holds if x is a regular s-compact pretopology. On the other hand, it is proved that for each finite n there is a (regular) pretopology r (on a set of cardinality continuum) such that (RT)kr > (RT)nr for each k < n and (RT)nr is a Hausdorff compact topology, where R is the reflector to regular pretopologies. The proof is based on a concatenation of modules constructed with the aid of a MAD family of Pétr Simon. It is also shown that there exists a regular pretopology of Hausdorff RT-order greater than the first countable ordinal. Moreover, all these pretopologies have the property that all the points except one are topological and regular.
