I disagree that it is obvious. The answer could for example start with
an introductory words/a preface. So it is ambiguous.

Anyway, this topic has probably been discussed on the Internet enough.

But in my opinion one should look what the main users of a list are
doing and for lists dealing with free software most people and
especially the ALSA developers use interleaved style. I think it is just
respectful to adapt to their habits when requesting help from them.


Thanks,
