I don't think that because you use a product that does things one way means that it's the right way. I'm definitely not of the opinion that Gmail is the pinnacle of user interface design. The other half (it's natural, you wouldn't expect to have to scroll, etc.) are preferences / training. We could have a whole debate about that, but it's already been done here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_styles I was (mostly) teasing anyway. At work, I use Lotus Notes and it's a *real* pain to do anything but top post. I like intermixing my comments with other peoples text as it's easier to get the contextual meaning. Again, it's just a preference.
