Top Posting, was Re: What was that

I should have been clearer in my post. In my experience, most people who won't use webmail justify their position not on the superiority of mail clients, but on the opinion that they prefer having their mail in their position, and not "in a cloud server some where". I'm not going to debate if that is true or not. It's just what I have had too many people tell me. But, if you want to keep several clients in sync with your mail, you need to keep the definitive repository somewhere, usually your inbox. I was pointing out the willful blindness of people who believe IMAP servers are less "in the cloud" then a webmail server. Indeed, most webmail servers, Google's included, provide IMAP services. So, my, unsaid, staring piont is that mail clients give you no more ownership over your mail than web mail.
