I want to steal all of this now.

Thank you. From my perspective, anything other than interleaved posting is an
abomination. Bottom posting containing pages of cruft is just as bad as top
posting.

If our tools make it hard to write email properly, we need better tools. Then
again, maybe people need to have a better introduction to good tools.

Maybe documentation is the answer.
