It is actually considered common list/newsgroup protocal to quote after the
context. This is largely because interspersed comments are the de facto
norm, and are 100% incompatible with people posting before the context.

But actually what I really wanted to say is that all y'all's lame because
you have been continuing this thread with Netscape's (no subject) lameness.
So whoever started this thread originally with (no subject) as the subject
should be taken out back and beaten, because they honestly don't have a
clue.  I think it should be rule that all messages sent to Cobalt's mailman
that have either '(no subject)' or '<no subject>' or '' as the subject piped
to /dev/null at the server.  Whatever is in that message is going to be
pretty much worthless as far as I am concerned.
