Fair enough, but it's hard to solve a problem that isn't apparent to the one
causing it.  In Gmail, the "quoted text" is generally hidden, and all you
have is what's new from the new post.  The previous post is shown above,
since it's the last message, so regardless of whether someone top posts or
not, it looks fine to me.  To be honest, this is the first time I realized
that I was one of the dreaded top posters.  Sorry, all.
