Maybe I misunderstood.  I've been seeing a discussion of top-posting as 
well.  This is the first list I encountered the concept of an email 
thread.  Back when ... I didn't even know that thunderbird supported 
threads.
So what I'm saying is that I like the current style of editing out 
matters redundant to your reply and posting in-line or bottom as 
appropriate and depending on the thread to carry the context of the 
whole email conversation.
I like the current style of this list as opposed to work where every 
reply carries all the previous replies in it.
