Offtopic, but what actually confuses me most is people replying to
quoted text and not putting a blank line before their additional text,
like above. It makes it very hard for me to quickly see the next text.
FYI, I only top post when I want talk talk _about_ the email, like "Is
this a TODO item", and put a dashed line under my text so people realize
I top-posted and there is nothing new below my text.
