No, it's the way YOU handle replies. Gmail happens to place the cursor at the top of the email, setting you up for a jeopardy reply. It's trivial to scroll down a little and type within the message in the proper location and avoid top-posting. I know this is the case because I'm doing it right now. And I even managed to delete the extraneous text that doesn't pertain to the conversation. Don't blame gmail for your laziness. > I hope it's annoying for you like these pointless e-peen stroking bitch > replies are agitating me (and yes, this is one of those replies). I don't do it because it's annoying to you, that's just an added bonus. Since the thread has already devolved and because anyone with a decent email client who doesn't want to see the thread continue has marked it dead, I thought that it wouldn't matter too much to reply and add to it. Match on a bonfire, as it were. I'd much rather see security discussions on this list, rather than having to educate people in the ways of how the intarwebs works, how to google and how to write a proper reply on a technical mailing list.
