Well, as far as my research has lead me to, the answer is here: RFC 1855 - Netiquette Guidelines Quoted text: - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original! Notice the: "...at the top of the message..." We might argue if it's a mail client's fault or user's but... shouldn't we follow an existent standard? Just my two cents...

Yes, well... there's a bit difference IMHO: whenever you pull the trigger to shot someone you *KNOW* (at least most of the people) you are acting incorrectly.

It is obvious that you are doing something wrong whenever you shot a gun but not when you use a mail client and you top-post. Of course it is not the same "wrong" but my point was about the *knowledge*. Anyway, as I already said, we are not argueing about whose fault is, but if we should top post or not.

If the manufacture hadn't designed the gun to fire the bullet, none of this would ever have happened." It seems to me that you were regreting something here and I ( again, seems clear IMHO) understood it was about shoting someone who didn't deserve it.
