Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

This manifesto could have been an e-mail!

I love the HN response that’s basically “soooo, usenet with trn, then?” Though a client that handles email reply bottom posting with “>” prefixed fragments more accurately describes this use case.
Either way there is nothing new under the sun.
