Aha! It reminds me a discussion we had in one of the Scala mailing list, where some people were telling that reminding (gently) some rules like plain text e-mail, bottom posting, trimming out quotes, etc. was rude, partly because they were old rules suiting to old e-mail clients, not to new shiny modern clients...
I argued that the fact these rules were deliberately ignored by "modern" clients (Web-based (Gmail), mobile-based, or even desktop-based like Outlook) proved lack of knowledge or desire to seduce people by shinny easy features ("see, just push a button and type your line of answer, don't worry for the thousand of lines of inverted thread trail behind it") more than "modernity". And that not everybody had new computers with nearly unlimited storage capacity and high speed unlimited Internet connection (even some mobile users pay for this thread trail by the HTML byte...).
Well, I am not here to recreate the debate, peace and nice end of year to everybody! :-)
