</div>It's a "don't top-post" list, so please take the time to move your<br>
cursor before typing. Looking up information later on in a list where<br>
people top-post all the time is extremely annoying and results in<br>
people giving up on archives entirely which in turn results in lots of<br>
repeat questions to the list. Also, bottom-posters tend to trim<br>
replies (since they have to san the whole email for an extra second<br>
anyway) which helps everyone!<br>

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. <br>
