Isn't Google Wave going to replace e-mail? Or at least integrate it? So it's no worse than GMail, which definitely does a lot to promote top-posting and doesn't thread conversations between more than two people. From what little I've seen Google Wave does a lot to promote collaboration, but in a very informal way (kind of like social networks). It's a bit depressing. Guess I'll go chase kids off my lawn. E-mail may not need to be killed... It's doing a great job of dying under the load of spam, top-posting and general societal lack of civility. Sigh.
