Quote enough of the previous message(s) to provide sufficient

It looks like Google really has fixed the quoting problem -- but they
still leave the cursor at the *top* of the article, and they don't
provde any clue that the user should write his reply at the bottom.
We're going to be seeing a lot of top-posting.

Maybe Google will fix this after a few years of complaining.

Actually the cursor appears at the bottom of the article on my browser.
But if the article has greater length than the size of the typing
window
then you need to scroll to the bottom of the window to see the cursor.
Presumably some users will just click at the top of the window if they
don't see a cursor.

But I don't think that all that is very relevant. Not top-posting
should
be common sense.
