Yeah, it's a shitty problem.  Mixing top posting and bottom posting
makes the archives really difficult to read.  The only solution is to
enforce one way of posting, so that's what I do.  Oh well :/

I'm not a very big fan of the Gmail interface in general, FWIW.  It
makes it nearly impossible to reply to bits of a message, which with
long posts is usually the clearest thing to do.

Dah well.  Maybe one day someone clever will figure it all out.
