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