Exactly so.

I'm with you on that. I do things exactly the way that you do it and it
seems natural to me as well. However, I'm sure that others don't do it
in a similar way. We've had discussions on this list that revealed this
and it had nothing to do with the original text window. Some like to do
all quoting before while others like to quote all text after.

They pay more attention to the beta list. I don't know how much
attention they pay to this list. Probably a little. A lot of discussion
on TB!'s design, design philosophy and development direction take place
on the beta list.
