I also tend to blame M$ (Outlook and variants) for this tendency to
quote everything and top-post -- Outlook makes it almost impossible
to do a trim&interleave response style.
I [think] that Outlook & Co are guilty. That and the fact that few
people even think about this.
Nonsense, I post only from Outlook. You can do it and it is not hard.
It is just requires a little effort.
A good tool would reduce the effort and guide users, like e.g. giving
them a hint if they leave the whole mail they're replying to as copy.
Several corporate email solutions (like MS Outlook/Exchange) put very
little emphasis on communication efficiency but only on eye-candy
features. Their popularity and the resulting influence on people has
caused decay in average communication culture, and that is what I blame
them for.
BTW: You omitted the attribution line for the text you quoted, whom do
you blame for that? That said, "Nonsense" is a strong enough word to
start a flamewar... not nice.
