Have you ever found yourself in the position of having to read emails on smartphones/PDAs, and having to compensate for the morons who forget to <snip> irrelevant (to their answers) previous postings? I usually have to "clip" myself parts of messages, by downloading - let's say, as an example - only the first 20-50 lines of emails (and to decide later on, if the email was worth more of my time and money to download the rest - and - for the top postings - more likely to get the info needed, with no further processing). Now - if everyone would top-post, the very "mobile" users would be much happier than right now ... technology evolves, and netiquette may have to adjust accordingly, regardless of the historical records kept by Google ...

do it.
