fool-ishness (Re: Top posting)

Mail User Agents are notoriously bad at the automatic quoting game  
(partly because different mail browsers implement quoting  
differently, partly because the 800 pound gorilla who joined the  
internet game late has never understood it, partly because context  
always has more effect than we expect, etc.).

In an ideal world, people would know why and how the tools they use  
should be used in certain ways when and where, and they would use  
their tools accordingly, and we would never need to question what  
their intent was.

In an ideal world, we would all use the same common language fluently.

I don't particularly want to live in that ideal world. (Not yet,  
anyway. Want to get a little better at solving problems before I go  
there.)
