It's really not our fault. It's hard for us gmail users to notice the "..." at the bottom of the email, then to know that we are supposed to click on it, then we are supposed to go to the bottom of the newly-expanded text, and type our reply THERE. We don't even *know* we are top-posting due to the user interface Google provides. I keep wondering if it would be possible to adjust whatever software manages these mailing lists and implement a simple anti-top-posting feature... could it automatically reformat top-posts to be bottom-posts? I am a software developer, and I hereby volunteer to help if I can. I just don't know who has the authority here to support such a change.
