GMail

You know what's bad about usenet and mailing lists?
The users. Obviously this is also the good.

The worst thing about the users on usenet and ML is top posting.

A: well I do
Q: really?
A: I mean, hard to understand
Q: in which way ?
A: people find it is bad
Q: why do you say so?
A: no, you should not
Q: Should I use top posting?

OTOH, some people writing tools, i.e. the World Domination Inc, AKA Google, decided that gmail and google-groups2 should default to top posting. If microsoft had done this people would start up burning Seattle, but, hey, google is our friend is'nt it?
