Please keep a handle on top posting.
This is a lost battle, thanks to The Evil That Is GMail.
You don't HAVE to top post using gmail.
Note that I am using a gmail address (with imap via mutt or icedove,
usually, but still, even with the web interface, it only takes a second
to move one's cursor to the bottom of a message and trim accordingly.
Using gmail, or any other webmail, is a poor excuse for not taking two
seconds to move the cursor and/or trim messages appropriately.
Agreed, even in the web interface Google provides an option to bottom post
via their options. One does have to set GMail to use plain text for that to
work though. Simple enough to do.
But even amongst the clueful, very few do that, as demonstrated by
the top-posting on this list.
