I sent this email to the chromium-discuss mailing list, as there doesn't seem to be a soul who understands how to read email text, and how to properly reply to a technical list (probably because they're all using the crappy Gmail MUA): http://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-discuss/msg/df924dbb59ec4330?dmode=source Long story short: * Trim your reply. Only include the relevant text to support your reply. * Bottom-post or interweave. People don't read English text from the bottom to top. Your reply should always be beneath what you're replying to. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . . O . . . O . O O O . O . O O . . O O O O . O . . O O O O . O O O
