Retro?  For those of us who actually know what PLONK means, it's hilarious.  
The fact that some people *don't* know what it means only makes it doubly so.

Now, here is a link that those of us who remember a time before there was such 
a thing as http, never mind youtube, will understand:

Justification: Everybody needs a break from all the telephonical stuff every 
once in a while :-)

And now, seriously:

Posting answers *before* the question to which they refer breaks the flow of 
conversation  (point -- counterpoint -- point -- counterpoint, and so forth),  
making it hard to read; and is also downright rude to anybody reading the 
archives  (which is the first thing any clueful person does when they have a 
question; chances are, you are not the first person to have asked this, and 
if an acceptable answer is already recorded then you need never even post).

And a mail client that makes it easy to top-post, no matter how popular it 
might have become thanks to a combination of rampant piracy and illegal acts 
of a convicted monopoly, is still a *badly-designed* mail client.

Answers come *after* questions.  It's really not hard.
