Someone pointed out that when using 'Quick Reply' on gmail, top-post is unavoidable, can, then, this specific rule, address this issue? On 09/10/2009, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Am I the only one who thought "skunkworks rules" similar to "skunkworks rocks". Maybe it should be "skunkworks posting rules"

Guys, Without wishing to kick off the whole 'top posting' debate yet again, I would just point out that there is such a thing as progress and change. It's not only gmail which threads messages - most mail clients now have this ability. For anyone who *does* thread messages, *bottom* posting is a major pain - so we'll never be able to satisfy everybody. If you thread, and someone bottom-posts, live with it - and if you *don't* thread, and someone top-posts, live with it. Personally, I'm more interested in content than form ;) Cheers, Tony 2009/10/10 Joseph Wayodi <jwayodi@gmail.com>:

If you use Mozilla Firefox, then you can try this Greasemonkey script: <http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/35866>.

Top posting is a big problem when you are *quoting excerpts*, otherwise hitting the reply button is OK. When quoting top posting is a *conscious decision*, and that's what's being discouraged... Thanks. -- With Regards, Phares Kariuki | T: +254 734 810 802 | E: pkariuki@gmail.com | Twitter: kaboro | Skype: kariukiphares |

To reinforce Tony, I use gmail and I don't struggle at all. The threading for me is actually the reason I use gmail. To Phares and co; thank you for cracking the whip succesfully. The quality of debate has certainly gone up in recent times. On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 6:27 PM, Tony White <tony.mzungu@gmail.com> wrote:
