   Then you will be glad to learn that in its current iteration, GG   
   positions the cursor at the bottom of a fully quoted reply.  If the GGer   
   simply starts typing, s/he will be bottom posting, untrimmed sig.   
      
   Previously the defaults were different.  The replier had to use More   
   options > reply in order to get access to citing the previous poster;   
   if they simply used Reply in the default view it didn't happen that way.   
      
   I'm not sure where the cursor was;  I think the 'regular' reply function   
   was at the top.   
      
   Now both Reply and More options > Reply work the same way.  The cursor   
   is at the bottom of everything being quoted and attributed.  And/But the   
   properly delimited sig is not autotrimmed.  The format of the   
   attribution is date/time + handle + From email but not mid.
