Just because you came late does not mean you can't have the same
sensibilities of the Usenet era. In short, many people who joined the
mailing list bandwagon recently have learnt the right etiquette from
others and by noticing how inline, contextual postings are much better
than top posting.

Others, unfortunately fail to accept it; they are simply too lazy to
be courteous to others. I would blame the webmail clients for that
though. They are simply not smart enough to put the cursor in the
right place (which is below the quote). Thunderbird does that nicely.
