I think most people top post in corporate enviroments 'cos they just
click and type and don't really care about proper use of email or
computers in general. It's just the thing to send messages. Ever seen
IT Crew? As for the chain of comand you could use the quotation
header's timestamp, but i don't see your corporate average Joe doing
that. :)

C'mon, if you're not using your home computer you might not be using
GNU/Linux (sad but true). Last i heard™ email is based on STMP and
others, not on Linux ;)
