Let me point out that there are users of this mailing list (such as myself)
who are completely unaware of what you're talking about.

That kind of attitude is unlikely to yield dividends in the long term.

I probably will, from time to time. Not always, but as Gmail evolves as a
service, they seem to be making this style of conversation more and more
difficult. Inline replies and bottom-posting are nearly impossible to do
nicely on an iPhone. Outlook  – as mentioned elsewhere in this thread –
isn't helping here either.

But a thinly veiled "I'll take my ball and go home" reaction isn't
productive for either you or the communities you participate in.
