Today's interesting observation:

I've seen the same "replied to the wrong thing" 6 times just today.  In all 6
cases, the people were top-posting their replies.  I almost never see this
sort of miscue when people bottom-post their replies (probably because you
then tend to actually *look* at what you're replying to).

Conclusion:  MUAs that by default top-post are a security issue, because they
make it much more likely that somebody will miscue and release sensitive
information.
