I too use Gmail and use it properly, but I can't argue with the fact
that many lazy people probably do not use it as they should. But
frankly that same logic could apply to any tool. I don't think Gmail
makes it any easier to have bad netiquette than other programs,
especially those from Microsoft, like Outlook. Though maybe the
features in Gmail (hiding quoted text, all emails in a thread in one
page) make bad netiquette a little less annoying, in which case I can
see your point.
