A lot of people use Gmail here without top-posting.  Sometimes Gmail
puts my cursor in the middle of the message I'm replying to - does
that mean I should just start typing right there?  It's not that hard
to hit "End" on my keyboard, and it makes it a whole lot easier to
read the thread in context.
