Gmail is interesting because when I hit "reply" it puts two blank lines
above the quoted text -- almost seducing the respondent to type above.

Sorry, man. I was just questioning Raif's assertion that a forum makes it
impossible to top post. I gave my example for why I didn't see that being
true. It wasn't meant to mock.

But, you're also right. Of all the things in the world to worry about and
control... how people participate in conversations seems like it would be a
tiring obsession. Neither email nor forums will enforce a EDI-like data
interchange structure. Leading by example seems more productive than being
the posting cop. (Especially when gmail *invites* top posting.). To each
their own. My reply to Raif was more about the assertion that forums
prevent top posting.
