B0rken e-mail software that makes difficult to DTRT, and, in some cases, management that actually directs doing the wrong thing. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

What ever became of the venerable practice of interleaving replies close to the paragraphs to which they refer so the reader doesn't need to hop up and down in the page? Top-posting is execrable.
